I think if our European friends were in our place, you'd be about ready to die for your Underworld fix too! Here's hoping it might be Coachella...even though it's on the other side of the frickin country I'd still do the 6 hour flight to see it.

yea - but at least we're not like the whining Brits who bitch about having to drive like 2hrs for a show! oooh boo hoo! (but I don't mean exclusively to this thread or UW... I've heard it done many times, with many bands)

I mean - pretty much, unless UW is playing in my town... I would at least have to dish out well over a few hundred dollars

so what's the difference to flying 6h to europe?
and f.y.i.: there are plenty of (american) bands that don't tour europa (or asia, or australia for that matter) that much.

Since this is an Underworld forum, I don't see what that has to do with anything. Regardless of what "other bands" do, I still want to see Underworld, and nothing's going to change that!

Didnt I read here somewhere that r&k were going to do limited touring so they could work more on their project with Brian Eno. I was just sent an email with a new list of Coachella acts which included Roxy MUsic with Brian Eno and Underworld. Theres just to much of a coincedence here. Who but the most hardcore of us would know this connection. They just happened to be put on a rumor list together.

I have seen both Underworld Coachella shows as well as several other US gigs. At the last Coachella show Underworld played r&K really seemed to be enjoying themselves much more than the SF Warfield show or the Wiltern show in LA. They do seem to enjoy the venue and why not if you havnt been its one of the best we have in the states. Really weel organised. I am trying not to get my hopes up too much but Tokyo is soo great sounding I cant say I am not a little excited. Anyways here is the Coachella lineup I just got and it seems a few names have been added as well as respective dates.

Hey potatobroth! My girlfriend and I met you and a few other peeps at Field Day in 2003. We had flown out from Seattle to catch that 45 minute UW show and then turned around and promptly went back! I'm not sure if you remember meeting us but it was damn fine to meet you and your friends!

As of of today's UWlive post, a Coachella appearance looks to be pure "fiction"...

[joethelion]
