As much as I think they would like to come over here more often, this quote from Karl in a Boston Herald interview illustrates why they tend to visit the states so infrequently.
UK electronic duo Underworld hasn’t brought its legendary live show to the United States in more than five years, but it’s certainly not because of laziness or lack of interest.
Blame simple economics.
“It’s very expensive to come to America,” explained Karl Hyde, one half of the seminal dance act. “It’s the only place we lose money. And we haven’t lost money in 20 years.”
“It’s a drag because we’ve got so many cool fans here,” Hyde said from San Francisco. “It’s kind of heartbreaking when you can’t come and play live to the people who give you daily support. But we bit the bullet this time.”
