Re: hard haunted mansion
ugh. Gotta go. Won't like the rest of the acts, though, nor the crowd.

Re: 2010-10-30+31 HARD Haunted Mansion - Los Angeles, CA
^^ says it all

I remember meeting some people who flew out from Australia to catch em at that party. Had to break the news that cabs weren't exactly accessible in Inglewood, too.

Ugh...from the original post I thought this was just a general inquiry...now that u/w is confirmed I'll have to eat my words and go. But...
- I am EXTREMELY saddened that the band chose to book with HARD again after last summer's clusterfuck and their recent LA event (with MIA/NERD) being canceled. Is this really the only way u/w can justify coming to the states nowadays?
- I REALLY hope the boys will do a solo show in town before/after.
- We really need to get a dirty crew together to brave the kiddies. Strength in numbers!

Re: hard haunted mansion
I'm praying they perform a solo show in San Francisco or Las Vegas or somewhere else relatively nearby. I'll go to Hard Halloween but I need the pure Underworld experience as well. Fuck it, I'll go to New York if I have to.

Re: hard haunted mansion
i was hoping they'd come to Los Angeles again, but not in this fashion...

i however, will have to go - if it's the only way to see underworld... we should arrange a dirty meet - perhaps a pint before the show... anyone interested, let me know. i'm pretty familiar with these parts.

Karl mentioned in an interview during the OwB tour that they lose money when they travel to the US, like the Sept. 2007 shows which were all just Underworld solo shows. Everything since then has had a festival show included, which helps subsidize the trip. 2008 - UMF, APW, Virgin with a side-show in Atlanta. 2009 - HARD Summer with side shows in Vegas, Oakland, Canada.

If festival shows are the only way to make it financially feasible to come to the states, then I think that's better than not having any shows in the US.

Unfortunately, the festival show usually means an exclusive on the artist in that region, which means you'll probably have to travel outside the LA area if you want to see a solo show.

I fully agree with that comment. Festival UW is better than no UW.

...just wish these US Festival Shows could be more like those in Europe...

Indeed...especially if they sound as great as the Ibiza show. Goodness!

Re: hard haunted mansion
No problem with a festival show, but HARD shows are just a bunch of teenagers on drugs who don't know the band or their music. I have no interest in spending my night surrounded by a crowd that this type of festival draws, especially at Halloween.

Re: hard haunted mansion
Every year I hold out hope that I'll see them on the Coachella flyer at the end of January...been quite a few years since that last happened.

Ah well, gotta suck it up and go. If there is a SF show the night before I may go to that, though. I've been to a HARD party at the Shrine for Halloween before...
