Underworld are Rick Smith and Karl Hyde. Their peerless first album - dubnobasswithmyheadman - was released to universal acclaim in 1994. In the thirty years since that mould breaking debut, the band have established their reputation as one of the most groundbreaking and important electronic acts of all time, one that constantly pushes creative boundaries, twists genres and refuses to stay still. Thirty years on, their new album - Strawberry Hotel - is no exception. This release adds to their already extensive catalogue of euphoric electronic tracks such as Techno Shinkansen and the 90s hit Born Slippy - each one calling millions of people to the dancefloor globally.

These guys are not young and they put on a show that was full of incredible energy and beautiful beats.
This was the most amazing concert with amazing performance!!! Underworld has the coolest fans.. What does that say about their amazing music ----A lot!!! If you have a chance to see Underworld don't pass them up, they give an unforgettable show..you will not stop dancing swinging and smiling
I hadn't had this much fun in a long time! It was incredible! Honestly, you would had to been there to understand. Their new music continues to be fantastic. They were enjoying themselves alongside with us. Never aloof with the audience. Hoping they return to NYC real soon!!!
Great set of old and new music. High energy performance while it lasted. The set was only about 1.5 hours with no encore. Bit disappointed by that... Underworld, on at 9:30 off at 11 doesn't seem right. Crowd was less enthusiastic than I was. I felt like the place was full of people who remembered liking the group in college but forgot how to dance and have fun.
One of the best shows I've seen in years. Every song sounded fantastic.
It was fantastic and amazing! Real Underworld was there.
A really enjoyable experience! Would go see them again in a heartbeat!
I love Underworld. One of the main things is all of the layers and little sonic details they put in. Even songs I have the spaces between beats memorized I could barely make out. Bass was completely overwhelming. We left early. I was really really looking forward to this. Also my Maker's Mark tasted like it was watered down with cheap vodka. I will not be seeing Underworld at the Fox again.
The show was amazingly great. The crowd was extremely excited, especially when they played their hits: Two Months Off and Rez. Then when the group closed with their big hit Born Slippy, the crowd went absolutely wild. Carl and Rick are amazing to watch perform together. After all these years, they are still fantastic!!!
Rick and Karl continue to be on fire! I loved the mix of floaty tunes like Low Burn and 8 Ball and the driving pounding harder tunes of Jumbo, Rez and Cowgirl. They sent us off with Born Slippy .NUXX, naturally!
What can I say? UW is off the charts with their banging, thumping techno, yet sometimes mellow and blissed out downtempo songs. One of my all time favorite groups who put on a display of visual orgasmic and aural pleasure. These guys ripped an amazing performance that blew the roof off the Fox, which is by far 1 of the Bay Area's coolest venues. I have had the good fortune of witnessing Underworld 4 times now over the last 20 years and they do not disappoint. They are classic and still in style! Amazing show. I am grateful for having the chance to see them again. And they just played a set at Coachella. Missed that but thanks to YouTube. I am blessed these wankers graced our presence here in Cali! Love me some Underworld.
I was a fan of Underworld throughout high school and college but never saw them live. Saw they were touring the states for the first time in years and decided to take the plunge. They put on an excellent, lengthy show (2+ hours) with a massively varied setlist. At 55, Karl Hyde has excellent stamina and energy and his signature unself-conscious dancing was a highlight. The sound is a bit boomy and rock - US soundsystems for electronic music are notoriously underpowered - but they overcame these limitations with a creative sound mix. Overall if you are a fan of the group you will really enjoy this show, even though you'll be surrounded by geezers reliving their rave halcyon days.
Magical. Biblical. Absolute Perfection. Unforgettable. I am still buzzing from the show. Took my best friends to see Underworld live at the gorgeous Fox Theater in Oakland. VIP at Telegraph was awesome. But the men and their music were PERFECTION. Played a 2 hour set with some rare tracks I haven't heard live, and I've been seeing them live for 20 years. So emotionally charged, it was breathtaking and I was on my feet the entire time. Love and light to the true godfathers of real electronica! Karl and Rick, you are everything everything!
Simply put - these guys are the original masters. It is not their first rodeo and the bring it like no one else. Their new album is so amazing I really just wanted to hear it front to back. But, like true masters they mixed the old and new seamlessly. I think a lot of the crowd only knew a few of the classic tracks and weren't really aware of the sheer volume of material they have and were completely and totally floored. Hands down of the best shows I have ever seen.
I've been listening to their music for over 20 years but had never been able to see them live, so I was particularly excited about this show, and boy did they deliver! Great songs, great sound (not excessively loud, thank God!) and great vibes. I wouldn't miss them next time around!
I thought that would just be a '90s rave nostalgia experience, but they really put on a great show. Great pacing and flow to an epic finale. Really had the crowd in a blissed-out ecstatic frenzy by the end, no psychoactives required.
The whole thing was fab from start to finish. One of the best concerts I've been to ever.
This was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I danced all night, and I knew every song! I wish it went on for hours. I can't wait to see them again!
BEST show I've ever been to at the Hollywood Bowl. Great crowd, vibe, sound and lighting.
Come all the way from the other side of the world, the fans wait for over a decade (outside of a lame rave) and only give 90 minutes to the fans? Very disappointed. Tons of songs I wished to have heard..
