Let this be a lesson to you: never get your hopes up about anything. After gushing about Prinzhorn Dance School's ruddy disco-punk anthems in a story about their joint dates with LCD Soundsystem, it turns out they've fallen prey to the visa issues plaguing plenty of rockers abroad attempting to enter into a Patriot Act-era U.S.

A DFA Records statement on the matter reads, "we realize this almost seems cliche by now for overseas bands, but it is the truth. We are all truly saddened that they will not be joining LCD Soundsystem on the U.S. tour, but swear they will be back very soon."

Prinzhorn fans will have some consolation mid-May, as DFA Records releases a 7" single and digital-download of "Up! Up! Up!" backed with "Hamworthy Sports and Leisure Centre" on May 14 overseas and the following day in the U.S. Check both tunes right now on DFA's MySpace.
