Spark Is A Diamond has cancelled some of their upcoming shows as a result of financial issues. Here's a statement from the band:

"We are extremely sorry to inform you that we have to cancel the rest of our tour dates this month. We had engine failure in Indiana and were forced to leave the van. It is going to be over $2000 for parts and labor for a new engine. Unfortunately, we don't have the money for that right now so we had to rent a U-haul truck to get us and all of our gear back home safely.

"Due to this enormously large bill for the van engine, the $900 for the U-haul truck, and over $300 in gas we had to pay to get all of our gear home, we are in some financial trouble. If you could or would like to help us out at all, please do by buying a t-shirt, or even just by donating a dollar or two, or even pennies. Every little bit helps and we would greatly appreciate it.

"We can't thank you enough for all of the support you have already given us. It is why we are able to do what we do."
