BTW, You Know That Area You Sometimes Fly Over...
...in the middle of the US, that makes the hop from NYC to LA so annoyingly long? There are, surprisingly enough, millions and millions of people that actually live there, many of whom are music fans, who may find a live performance by Underworld to be of some interest.

Just thought I'd bring that up, in case you weren't aware.

maybe you could, er, get your arse on some trains, planes and automobiles or summat?

uw are travelling a lot further to LA than you'd have to!! Just thought I'd bring that up, in case you weren't aware.

Have fun

Re: BTW, You Know That Area You Sometimes Fly Over...
it would be nice to see 'chicago' show up on the live dates section this time around. it's been almost 7 years since they last came through. i've flown to both san francisco and l.a. to see them in different years, but i don't have the vacation days to do that this time around. . .

if not chicago, i might be able to handle a drive to detroit too

asking a dude with uncertain financial straits to spend hundreds on his own for 90 minutes of a band who budget thousands as a matter of course for any kind of tour. classy.

it really wouldnt kill them to not be within 100 miles of a damn coast. go to chicago more than once a decade.

Yeah, it would be nice if they played a non-coastal show in the US, if only because I can't afford to fly anywhere. Won't happen though.

Well, from the reactions at the local clubs when a DJ works in King of Snake, Two Months Off, or Cowgirl, I'd say Madison, WI for starters. And we're pretty tiny compared to Chicago.

I've spent plenty of time outside Wisconsin, thanks, and I flew to NYC the last time UW was in the States to see them. As to whether there was "an offer" to play in Chicago, that's what promoters are for, as I'm sure Karl and Rick know.

No matter how you slice it, something's out of whack when they play a dozen shows on the coasts in the U.S. for every one they play in the midwest. Of course, if it continues this way the bit about lack of fans here will eventually become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
