CRADLE OF FILTH bassist Dave Pybus has issued the following tour update:

February 28th - Revolution, Ft. Lauderdale, FL:

"Never played here before. The ride here is extremely bumpy and we got lost for a while, making it even more bumpy. Was just about to venture into the venue when a sudden hail storm opened up and kept me on the bus for an hour longer. But alas, I got there in the end. It's actually a very hot day. Morale seems high with only four shows left to go. People are not as ill today either which lightens the mood. Did a strange soundcheck due to no side fill monitors, which is what I personally rely upon. But it's not show threatening and we battle through it. Me and Jeff make a B-line for Sushi and I'm happy again, making it back to catch the last 3 Inches Of Blood song. Got ready in the cool backstage and played all the main set. Had to reduce the encore to 'Gilded' and 'Cradle to Enslave' due to curfew. Had a great show and the audience was brilliant. Had to leave early though as we have a 950 mile drive on the day off tomorrow. Three more shows left!"

Remaining dates on the tour are as follows:

March

2 - NorVa in Norfolk, VA
3 - Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD
4 - Irving Plaza in New York, NY
