I was checking out the Yat Kha site in eager anticipation of their show this Friday at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music when I read this:

The US tour is cancelled from visa problems
Passport theft was followed by theft of the suitcase with all the pedals and gear
Radik has decided to go on paternity leave for the forseeable future
The STORM over ASIA project has temporarily been suspended by REALITY Film because of the above...

Storm Over Asia is a 1928 silent film to which Kat Kha was adding live accompaniment, making this a particularly interesting tour. The Tuvan rock band is known for its heavy touring, but should also get recognition for "family values": Radik is the third member to go on paternity leave.
