An onstage indiscretion has caused the Black Lips to cancel their Indian tour.
The Black Lips tour has been cancelled following a run-in with local authorities in Tamil, India, after the group was accused of indecent exposure at one of their gigs.
Fleeing the scene after a set in Chennai's Campus Rock Idol showcase resulted in the police being called, while the band escaped through an emergency exit.
The group reports the gig's sponsors are pressing charges and they were forced to head for the state line to avoid being put in a local jail, which they described as "no joke".
In a statement on their website, they claim: "We were also informed that all of the shows on our tour had been canceled effectively f*****g all funds for the trip. This was a cultural clashing s**t storm."
The tour was intending to include stops at Doornroosje in Nimegen on February 3rd, Watt in Rotterdam on the 4th and 59:1 in Munich 24 hours later.
Other gigs included venues in Lille, Cologne, Brussels and Paris.
