    Nektar's Fall 2015 tour

    It looks as if Nektar will be touring this Fall, in addition to the cruise. 13 performances in 14 days; 12 in Germany & 1 in the UK.

    Venues are posted on Nektar's website.

    I'm doing my part in promoting them.

    US dates would be nice. But, they don't sell very well and I can't imagine it's worth their while.

    Glad to see they're doing something. Things dropped off for a while and I never heard why.

    For us poor folks in the states it would be great if Roy could come up with some sort of web cast to stream some of these shows for us to view. Good Idea?

    I'm wondering if this tour will coincide with Roye's promised album release.

    Hmmm, I must have missed that. What have you heard about a release?

    ^ Months ago, before Roye took sick & the original 2015 (or was it 2014?) tour was cancelled, Roye had posted on his Facebook page that an album was in the works for a Fall 2015 release.

    Hope it spills over into the USA, but glad to see them active again. Hope they are all healthy.

    Any info on his illness? I heard about the cancellation, but never saw any details.

    ^ No detail that I've seen. Just notice of the cancellation/health news & then... nothing until this tour's announcement.

    Personal privacy is one thing, but I'm not covinced if anyone in the current organization is truly interested in maintaining the fan base.

    Mick is pretty much their only promoter.

    In fact, it's been a while since he's been here. Hope things are okay, Mick.

    I'm OK, thanks for askin'... however, all I can do presently is substantiate that the Euro club tour has been announced. I'll confirm their shows and post the entire Nektar tour on the project site next month.
    BTW, They DO have promoters both in Europe and here in the USA.. they even cop a percentage.
    Assuming everyone else now has facebook, where ADHD and instant gratification of messages is so rampant, some clubs probably won't even post until about a week before their show, especially if they are also very busy tweeting.

    It seems there is another bogus Nektar, advertising their gig at the Palisades Club in Brooklyn on Monday August the 10th ($5 admission for 5 bands) at 8pm.
    https://www.facebook.com/events/6946...n_history=null
    At first I thought it could be a "rehearsal gig" on the way to their JAPAN venue in September, but I am well informed that this is an electronica band of arrogant twenty somethings who are blatantly using the Nektar name.
    SO... even if anyone was interested, Nektar is NOT playing the NYC area in August!

    That imposter is the lowest billed of five bands, so I don't think you need to worry.

    Thanks for that info. So...when IS Nektar playing here?

    Thanks for the update. US dates would be nice, but I understand it's not economically feasible. Turnout is usually very low.

    That bogus band is still playing Brooklyn on the 10th,
    however, they have since changed their name to....
    wait for it....
    NEJTAR.
    Yup, Nejtar... so how original is that?
    Anyhoo... I suppose it was the right thing to do to avoid a problem,
    tho' "Nexstar" woulda been a much better subtle alternative.
    There are links on the project tour page.

    I plan to attend Roye's solo show in Kansas City on October 24. The place (Gospel Lounge Stage at Knucklehead's Saloon) is very small. Supposedly the show is being filmed for DVD release. I have no idea what songs to expect.

    That would be great to see. He can pull out a ton of gems for that.

    I spoke to Roye a little while back about the band coming to South Africa. Would love to see them.

    Ron, when you're at the show, if they are filming, make a lot of noise or stand up so we can see what you look like!
