If you are a friend of mine on MySpace you have probably noticed the multiple bulletins I’ve posted about Underworld coming to the states in September to play three huge shows in New York City, Denver and Los Angeles. If you are a fan of electronic music and you don’t know who Underworld is then you’ve probably been living in a shell since the early 1980s… Underworld is to dance music what Elvis was to rock and roll.
Underworld has been blowing away dance parties and venues around the globe with mega-hits like Rez, Born Slippy, Cowgirl, King of Snake and Moaner for nearly three decades now. They shot to mainstream success in the US riding on the coat tails of Born Slippy which was in the final scene of the cult hit movie Trainspotting. Do yourself a favor, stop reading this right now and head on over to Amazon and pick up the best dance music DVD ever, or if you are a cheap bastard at least watch the video from Moaner at YouTube.
I just purchased my plane tickets today to fly to NYC on September 13th and back on September 16th… those are Continental Airlines flights 821 and 1433 for those of you crazy cats who like to track flights on FlightAware, or if you want to join in on the fun. I’ll be tagging along on this joy-ride with Tray, Emily and her friend Nicole… so the more the merrier, but hurry because prices keep climbing! I am also still searching for a good hotel on “the island” so if you know of any please let me know, I’m looking in the $150-$200 a night range…
Underworld will be playing at Central Park’s Rumsey Playfield with the groundbreaking James Holden opening for them… Underworld at an outside venue, simply beautiful. If you’ve never heard of James Holden you’re really missing out too, do yourself a favor and pick up his latest album At the Controls, it is amazing to say the least. I’ve been wanting to see Underworld live for well over a decade and I’ve been a fan of James Holden for at least the last 4 years, sadly since they are both huge in Europe they don’t come across the pond much.
I’m so stoked about this show I’m totally acting like a 12 year old girl waiting for Hillary Duff to come to town… it is going to be a long three months.
