Promoters cancel Ducktails' Manila show

Sleeping Boy Collective has officially cancelled Ducktails' Manila show. The Matt Mondanile-led project was originally scheduled for a one-night-only performance in Manila on October 31. 

On October 13, 2017, reports of Mondanile's alleged sexual misconduct made the rounds on the internet, leading with SPIN magazine's report on the issue. According to an official statement, the former Real Estate guitarist was fired from the band in February 2016. The announcement of Mondanile's departure was made in May 2016, citing he would be focusing on Ducktails instead.

Sleeping Boy Collective has recently brought Turnover and Cavalcades to the Philippines, with Ducktails as their next scheduled show.
