I've got to agree with the topic creator on this one. I mean, it sounds absurd if you think about it. UW is playing 5 gigs in Germany (a country half the size of Texas) and 8 gigs in the UK (home country, but with less than 1/5th of the United States' population), but only three shows in the USA. The USA shows are also all located near the edges of the country, making it extraordinarily difficult for anyone in the middle (read: me) to get to the shows. I don't know anything about planning shows, so maybe it's a logistical impossibility.
I love Underworld's music, and as long as they keep putting out good tunes, they can play live wherever and whenever they want. But, seriously. Just one show in the middle of the country....just one...
On a less whiny note, I'm trekking out to Lollapalooza this summer to see The Rapture, LCD Soundsystem, and Daft Punk.
They're probably the only decent bands that have ever come anywhere near the Midwest...any other dirts going?
