Electraglide - Tokyo.. who's going

[Yannick]

I'll be there from Nov 23 - Nov 27

:D

[phaseblue]

I live about 1 1/2 hours north of Tokyo so I`ll be there!!! I emailed you about Elektroglide,　but you haven`t responded yet, so I decided to post!

I`m bringing a couple of friends who I`ve "turned on" to Underworld. Do you want to plan a small dirty meetup? I`m sure that there are at least some Japanese english speakers / gaijin(foreigners) living in Japan who regularly come to dirty.org and would be interested in a meetup before the show. Perhaps we can get a few people to come!

I`m very excited about the show and hope to meet up with you.

Matt

BTW - Don`t you live in Canada?

[Yannick]

great,

can you send that email again, I can't find it. -> yannick@dirty.org

sure we can meet up, i'll with 3 friend, we can have a nice dirty meet ;)
(hopefully I won't miss it this time hehehe)

I was living in canada, but moved to chicago earlier this year.

[ndrwrld]

Traitor ! !

[kite1ess]

i'm going!
my first underworld show, finally..

i just registered here.. but maybe you remember me from the early days on the rtsr-trade list, yannick.
i'm from canada, moved to japan last year

i found the schedule for electraglide http://www.electraglide.info/timetable/timetable.html

"room 1"
21.00 - 22.30 Ken Ishii (DJ) 22.30 - 23.45 Autechre (LIVE) 23.45 - 1.30 Tiga (DJ) 1.30 - 4.30 Underworld (LIVE) 4.30 - 6.00 Towa Tei(DJ)
does this mean they're going to play around 3 hours??

[Yannick]

yup 3 hours of crazyness

I don't recall you from rtsr.. but anyway, I don't recall much eheh
from toronto ? maybe I remember your name.. mail me

[phaseblue]

Good to hear that there are some other dirts living in Japan. I hope kite1ess will be coming to our small (but hopefully growing) meet-up!

We need to find a good venue for it. Although I live about 1 1/2 hours north of Tokyo, my girlfriend is Japanese and she lives there. I will see if she can search out a good place for it. Maybe an izakaiya (Japanese restaurant/bar), sushi bar, or something like that? I haven't found a single restaurant in this country (except Mc Donald's) that doesn't serve alcohol, so that wont be a problem.

Any suggestions?

Matt

BTW - That stuff on UnderworldLive is unreal - especially that video of Born Slippy from Electraglide 2003! Brings back great memories. My god I cant wait for the show!!!

[DannyOrder]

I'll be in Osaka.

[tox]

Can`t make it to Tokyo but I`ll be at Osaka....

Anyone going there?

[Forgotten Sanity]

Good lord what a lineup, you guys are lucky. Have fun!

Yeah, good to see Far Eastside representin'. :D

[nes]

I am so pleased they are going to play a 3 hour set. I was there last year and most bands only played for about an hour, hour and a half.


First time seeing Underworld and I'm shaking with excitement...

nice will have a fun pre-party ;) join us, I really don't know how the hell will stay up all that time..

[Stephen]

:D
Fucking right. Tiga followed by UW. I'd be spunking off at 100 paces. Seriously, if anyone there isn't enjoying this, check their pulse as they're probably dead.

[Lounger]

Wow! Towa tei, Ken Ishii and UW. That's my dream you guys are so lucky. I would chop off a finger for that lineup.

[testudo]

It sucks that the "buy the most Underworld songs this week" competition
isn't happening this week. I heard the prize was a free trip to Tokyo's Electraglide.:confused:

[phaseblue]

Wow! Towa tei, Ken Ishii and UW. That's my dream you guys are so lucky. I would chop off a finger for that lineup.

And let's not forget Autechre live. A continuous supply of mind blowing ear candy!!!:)

[DannyOrder]

I see the set will be 2 hours only in Osaka...there's only one room at the ATC Hall so everyone's on the same stage.

[phaseblue]

I just made the reservation for 10 people at Tony Roma's - Makuhari WBG store from 5:00 - 7:00 on Friday Nov. 25th.

They weren't completely booked, so we can probably play around with those numbers/times if need be.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. See you all Friday!!!:D

Matt

[kite1ess]

cool!

i've gotta come in from Kanagawa after work.. be there by 6:30, but hopefully earlier. is there a name or.. ah, who am i kidding, i'll just find the noisy bunch of foreigners

(we gonna find another place to drink at 7 or are you getting to the venue really early?)

see you guys friday..

[phaseblue]

is there a name or.. ah, who am i kidding, i'll just find the noisy bunch of foreigners..
LOL - So true!:D But if you have any trouble the reservation is under "Tae".

(we gonna find another place to drink at 7 or are you getting to the venue really early?)
I've got to stick around till about 9:30 to wait for my friend Andy to get off work, so heck, we can either stay at Tony Roma's longer or head to another place! I don't know what Yannick's group has in mind yet, but I'm sure we'll all figure something out.

Good times are just around the corner!!!:)

Matt

[lloyd]

Have fun boys! I hope the concerts will be as great as the BeNeLux ones have been.

p.s. see that Yan dosn't hide a ninja in his suitcases on his way home.

[anarchyboy23]

I Just Can't Wait~~~~[B]

[nes]

Have a good one guys,


I am coming down from Miyagi on the day and have to sort some stuff out in Tokyo first, so I won't have time to meet anywhere before hand.

Its gonna be so goood.....

[fskr]

Hi, guys!

I was flipping the website and look for timetable of electaglide, it came to this page. I am excited for tomorrow`s show. This is my first time underworld show.

I will finish my work at 6 so I don`t think I can make it for 7 or so, but I will stop by if I can!

NO! Wow yan, that is soooo out of character for you! :p

Glad to hear you are having a wonderful time, mec. :D

[phaseblue]

last night was amazing.. i can't wait to get the CDs just to remember all the new stuff they played. My thoughts exactly! 3 hour set = a lot of material! Those CDs can't arrive soon enough!:)

If my memory serves me right, the set list included the following (not in the exact order):

1) - JAL To Tokyo - Very nice opener
? - Kittens Beat
? - Juanita
? - Rez
? - Spikkee
? - Lenny Penne
? - You Do Scribble
? - Nu Train
? - Born Slippy NUXX/2003
? - Push Upstairs
? - Pearl`s Girl
? - KOS (awesome light show)
? - Two Months Off
14 - Jumbo
15 - Rowla
16 - Moaner

Please jump in to add more. There was a lot of other new stuff / improves mixed in there! Incredible show!!!

Glad to meet you all. Had fun hangin' with Yan and his friends in Tokyo. Matt, sorry we didn't get to hang out/ meet up after the meet-up. I had 3 newbies with me and all of them had never been to an electronic show before (one of them had never even been to a concert), so I had to make sure they were cozy with the whole experience! But everyone loved it. Great times!!!:D

Hi, guys

It was great show. I really enjoyed it. I was impressed Karl`s movement, and he was so energetic. Did they play cowgirl? not whole thing, isn`t it? If I remember right, they played two months off after born slippy.

I liked light surgeons, coldcut. did you see jon spencer joined their show and sung one song? That was good surprise. Chris Cunningham`s stuff was shocking and hardcore I found. But everybody else looked fading away to see underworld.
sorry I could not stop by because I arrived there late.

do you know free English magazine called metropolis? Underworld`s interview is in it. I am reading right now!

sweet! nice to see some current interviews being posted here :)

[phaseblue]

Hey all!

I recently created an Underworld-Japan page on my web site. I just added some pics from the Electraglide, Toko show!

http://www.tuesdaygirl.com/underworld_japan.htm

The quality varies, but you might find an interesting surprise on one of them (I don't know if Karl wore this on the European leg)!;)

[//\/\/]

nice1 phaseblue - that dress is, err, well.. great pics!

[votingfloater]

that's just plain odd - think he lost a bet?

though it would go nicely with the chimes in TMO :D

[phaseblue]

though it would go nicely with the chimes in TMO :D LOL

Actually though, he came out like that for Jumbo! The next song, Rowla, was the first encore, so he quickly disappeared backstage and came back out with normal "Karlwear" on again (the infamous black and white stripped shirt and pants). I have to admit, I was a bit surprised!!!

[votingfloater]

well, i suppose he doesn't jump about so much in jumbo :)

[Icke]

? - Two Months Off
14 - Jumbo
15 - Rowla
16 - Moaner

Holy crap.

That's a pretty nice ending :D .

[tox]

So, the estimated date of arrival for the Tokyo gig cd is tomorrow. Has anyone recieved it yet? I'm still waiting for mine.

[GoatSucker]

Just wondering if any of those who bought this have a tracklisting?

According to the purchase information:
Upon payment a receipt and complement card with details on how to download the tracklist from Underworld will be given to you and the 3CD recording will later be sent to the address as given on the order form.
