Karl Hyde: There’s talk about coming back to the East Coast, but we want to come back to the US next year with a bigger tour. A more complete tour across America. By bus, because that’s the way to tour America, where you can get off on truck stops, and see deserts and see the countryside. If we don’t come back to the East Coast this year, then it’ll be because we’re planning a bigger tour there next year.

Hmm, I visit NYC next April, so that would be perfect for me

Hmm talk of To Heal getting into the live set perhaps... and even more talk of 8Ball!!!!!

8 BALL!!!!

A recording of that would be like Gold dust!

FAZER interview:
"Mike: Yeah. I’ve always liked ‘8 Ball’ a lot as well. The first time I heard that was another Danny Boyle movie.
Karl: Yeah, ‘8 Ball’ is something that we want to do live even and we haven’t been able to do it in time to, for us to come out again on this tour, but, that’s something that is being worked up so that we can, we can play it again. In fact, y’know that we’ve never even ever played that live."

I certainly wouldn't mind returning to New York once more to see underworld next year. Especially if they're gonna play 8-Ball

The Urb interview specifically mentions NYC!

URB: So, why aren’t you coming to NY?
KH: Because there’s plans to return to the East Coast later. I’m not supposed to say that. But you can’t tour the states and not play New York. It would be a bit odd.

I'm so happy!

Underworld Interview: Extending the Creative Conversation - Metrowize
MW: Anyone, new or old on the scene who you’d like to collaborate with?

KH: Santigold opened for us the other day in Italy; we really dug what was happening on stage there


Interview: Karl Hyde of Underworld - The Scenestar
SS: It seems like you’ve really honed in on that concept being a stabilizer of the band. Is this something that has existed since day one?

Karl Hyde: I think a lot of it comes from Rick’s Welshness. It’s a very Celtic thing too I suppose. We tried the whole ego-trip thing in the ’80s, trying to be rockstars, where the frontman thought he was amazing and behaved like he was some kind of superstar, and it just didn’t work. But when Rick reinvented the band in the ’90s, we became part of DJ culture before there were superstar DJs. It was about the music, and egos couldn’t get in the way. And I think if you put those two things together, Rick’s Celtic mentality with a scene that grew out of a place for egos, that became the roots of Underworld.


Underworld On The Edge - Soundproof
"I think if you'd have asked me as a teenager what would be my wildest, wildest fantasy of how things might turn out, I don't think it would have come close to what we're feeling about where we're at. Rick and I have been working together for 30 years . . . that's mental! That's really mad, isn't it?"

There are several more fresh interviews out there...will try to get them posted soon

Here's a great article on the new rave scene in Los Angeles that covers the Hardfest disaster, with interviews with Karl Hyde and... me! I am very pleased to be quoted extensively, credited (mistakenly) as "Andy C".
