Re: hard haunted mansion
There's been some rank (as in smelling) journalism on the part of the LA Times who didn't write much about the HARD fiasco last summer but have pumped article after article on how great their 2010 summer show was going to be. They tied Gary Richard's efforts into a "rebirth" of the "cool rave scene" in L.A.... which for anyone who lives here or saw the catastrophe last August is a big effin joke.
I love the band, I love the music, and live Underworld has probably been among the more spiritual experiences I've ever had in a concert setting... but frankly I'm going to sit down after trick-or-treating with my 2yr old step-daughter and just listen to the new album... instead of wading through the mess at the Shrine. It's a poor decision to play that particular event. I recognize how we never get to see the band, but this attitude of "Well shucks, we GOTTA go," is the kind of attitude that rewards Richards. Well, that and the L.A. parents who are blindly oblivious to what their 16-18 yr old daughters are wearing out. Aside from missing Organic Festival in 1996, I've seen them Every time they come to the area... but I'm putting my foot down here. Not worth that kind of money to support a bad business. Sorry guys. |

Re: hard haunted mansion
wasn't this the gig last year where they oversold the venue and the police raided the place for violating fire code? i live in GA so i won't be going anyway, but it sounds like a bunch of jackasses.

I GOTTA go (unless of course there's a one-off gig close by as an alternate choice) |

Re: hard haunted mansion
...If they go on.
...and yea, sorry to sound like a detractor. I'm still a junkie for all things UW. I loved the Santa Monica Civic show in '99...and chucked every penny I had to fly to London then bus out to Homelands to see their very Next show. I'm fairly confident they'll come back around to the West Coast at something outside of a crappy festival setting. Until then, I hope that they DO get onstage and I know for those Dirts in attendance, it will be spectacular. |
