Yesterday I reported that Yeasayer and Chairlift had canceled their October 22nd performance at Paradise. This is not the case. Yeasayer will still play at the Paradise on October 22nd. However, Chairlift will not be at the show. Suckers will replace Chairlift as opener for Yeasayer. I apologize for the confusion and wanted to make the [...]
