As a result of some unexpected visa and immigration issues, Scottish rock foursome The View has been forced to cancel its upcoming North American tour, including an appearance at SXSW. (The band promises to reschedule the tour.) A further fall-out of these events is that the band's debut album, Hats off to the Buskers, will now only see a North American release, on May 8. It's a tough break, seeing as the band had been building a nice bit of buzz in its native U.K. Here's the list of canceled dates: 03-03 New York, NY - Luna Lounge 03-05 Toronto, ON - Lee's Place 03-07 Chicago, IL - Schuba's Tavern 03-09 Seattle, WA - Crocodile Café 03-11 San Francisco, CA - Slim's 03-13 Hollywood, CA - Troubadour 03-15-17 Austin, TX - SXSW 03-20 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom 03-22 Cambridge, MA - T.T.

They're not going to influence anyone anytime soon, but this puts a damper on NME bands owning the entire month of March.
