Sound City was in '94 at the Tramway in Glasgow. I was there and was the first time I'd even heard of Underworld, nevermind heard any of their tunage. Converted me from a cheesy raver on the spot!

Lemme think...
Norwich 1992
Sheffield 1993
Glasgow 1994
Bristol 1995
Leeds 1996
Oxford 1997
Newcastle 1998
Liverpool 1999

Birmingham 2001

i got a feeling it maybe a club event probs a colours night or something but if its their own gig then cool i can see the logic in playing at the arches its a great venue the smaller the better the crowd are closer to the stage etc which is always a good thing in terms of a good atmosphere. Bring it on

Nah I'd be surpised if they played Colours or even Pressure - when was the last time a band of that stature played a club night? Gigs featuring relatively large artists are commonplace at the Arches however, recent examples being Roots Manuva, Death In Vegas and Nitin Sawnhey.

Got to remember Underworld have been out of the scene for a few years now and with no new material (thats been released) i would really not be surprized if it was a club event they are highly respected yes but their sales have slumped in particular the last album and the compilation one they did too never sold what was expected. I said when emerson left on these very forums that they should get darren price in with rick right away because karl and rick on their own were making to many trippy slow tracks emerson gave them the kick they needed and price can offer the same and think this is why rick has introduced him into the band to give them an edge again because the barras gig in 2002 was ok but it was nothing compared to the barras gig in 99 with emerson which was banging with visuals too.

Anyway i think a club night would give them more benefits promote them again to the club fraternity and masses again which is much, much needed for the boys. The die hards like us are always going to be here and buy their stuff but thats not enough they need to be recognised again for the scene they represent they need more dance fans buying their albums and gaining an interest again they hit a bit of a block in my opinion with a hundred days off the album was rushed and was in a way a sort of panic album to say that without emerson we will play on but the live shows at that era lacked visuals and character thus why they reverted to playing dirty epic and spoonman surfboy etc because a lot of the a hundred days off tracks could not cut it live in my opinion.

I think you'll find it was. Google gives out enough info. I think i've got recordings of The Fall, House Of Love and Orbital playing there. Strange place to start off the Sound City series tho (I think this was the first).

Ally: When you get a likely date for this gig let us know!

[jose m]

thought you meant underworld playing.
