It's fair to say that Cave Painting have had a pretty busy two years, with - to-date - every one of their tours selling out, the release of their debut album 'Votive Life' late last year and a support slot for Supergrass's Gaz Coombes tour just after. A tour which also sold out.

Due to embark on their fourth UK tour this month and next, the band have been forced to postpone due to personal issues.

Over to you, Cave Painting:

We are sorry to announce that we have been forced to cancel the planned UK tour, scheduled from January 25 to February 8. Unforeseen personal issues have meant that the band will have to re-schedule dates later in the year. The band wish to apologise to fans, and promoters alike for any inconvenience this may cause. Ticket refunds can be obtained at point of purchase.

Of course, we'll keep you posted with news of any new dates as soon as we hear.
