Just got back from Underworld at the Roundhouse - what an excellent gig! Lineup: Darren Price, Rick Smith, Karl Hyde (from left to right)

I was at the front, but stuck between two disturbingly stoic people (who only expressed a flicker of emotion when the cameras were on them) for half the night, until a girl tapped me on the shoulder and commented that I was the only person in our section who looked like they were enjoying themselves so things took a turn for the better when she found her way to the front during King of Snake :) Unfortunately this meant that I ended up looking far more enthusiastic than the people beside me and have already been informed that I ended up on the live feed (argh), but will hopefully not make it onto the iTunes coverage on ITV2... *shame*

Surprises: a new synth-rock(?!) track featuring both Rick and Karl singing (or perhaps I'm just not l33t enough to know it) and the new doof-doof version of Strumpet which sounds much more produced. Opening track was Downpipe, and there was sadly no Moaner (or encore), but they managed to squeeze in Rez/Cowgirl, King of Snake, Two Months Off and of course, Scribble and Born Slippy. Was a bit too blissed out to remember the full set list, I'm afraid.

Other points of possible note: Karl's glittery jacket has disappeared, and new merchandise includes a '; cty luvs a boyfrnd' t-shirt and '; y'r a btifl thng' tote bag (they're the items I purchased anyway) as well as a few other designs (the only ones I can remember were based on Winjer and Dogboy, both with less vowels and more semicolons than you might expect).

Looking forward to the album launch gig in September!

Synth-rock track you mentioned is called Diamond Jigsaw.

What was it with all the fucking school kids acting like twats at the beginning.....special contrats to the fair haired bloke for giving one a right kicking after attempting some crowd surfing. They seemed to calm down after around 20 mins (probably Mummy had come to pick them up)

Top night overall though & the boys seemed to really enjoy themselves

Re: 2010-07-17 iTunes Festival, Roundhouse - London, UK
 

Very much enjoyed the gig, Karl and Rick very happy. Loved Karl standing on top of the gear during Rez and NUXX. More detailed report later. The setlist I got lists Strumpet and Between the Stars if were being technical.
