UNDERWORLD

The legendary electronic group behind landmark release ‘dubnobasswithmyheadman’ and the equally game changing 'Born Slippy (Nuxx)' are back for their first Australian performance in seven years.

Embraced by 90s’ indie fans and dance music lovers alike, Karl Hyde and Rick Smith, the duo responsible for bridging the gap between techno and more traditional electronic bands like New Order and Depeche Mode, are now set to bring their shuddering bass and electrifying visuals to the State Theatre for the first time.

Off the back of their Grammy-nominated release ‘Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future’ along with their peak-time ‘Born Slippy (Nuxx)’ anthem revived this year for the Trainspotting sequel, prepare for a journey through two decades of genre-breaking British music. Prepare to stand up and dance to the euphoric beat of Underworld.

★★★★ 'Electrifying' – the Guardian

'More intoxicating than ever... A euphoric rush of their most epic tunes' – The Telegraph UK

★★★★ 'On my list of things to do before I die' – Resident Advisor

    Great Band, terrible venue

    by pinworm on 11/1/104th and B - San Diego

    The night was nearly spoiled by a disorganized club. Two artists were set to perform before Underworld and I personally think a 2 hour opening set by the FIRST artist alone is too much. This guy simply would not get off the stage. This was followed by a short set by Blaque Audio, a bizzare mix of depeche mode, peter murphy, skinny puppy and early 80' ministry ( think the "Revenge" album) who brought the highschoolers in. Then, to our horror the first DJ was brought back out..but kept out of sight from the booing. There was obviously a problem with Underworld who came out late and began the set with a muffled audio problem that was not resolved until the third song, at which point the sound kicked butt and got to where it needed to be. Karl was sick, throat problems and it seemed like he was struggling and having trouble finding the energy. That aside, the show was awesome and the arrangements much much stronger than last years US visit. The highpoint for me was the "Rez/Cowgirl" section with the bombastic 5 minute percussion intro. "Diamond Jigsaw", a song which sounds like a flashback to Underworld circa 1988, was significantly de-rocked and up-techno'd and came out great, and as usual, you cannot beat "Moaner" for a final encore. Hey, rough show or not, I am just glad they were here. Just once, I want to see "Juanita" performed live!!

    Underworld @ Roseland!!

    by hicksgospel on 10/31/10Roseland Ballroom - New York

    The opening act Felix Da Housecat was alright. The problem was not many had shown up yet and people were just ready for Underworld after all these years. As for Underworld simply put, the show rocked!! Some great new ones off of Barking and some golden oldies. I must also say that I just love Roseland Ballroom. It's easy to get around, the sound is great, and the beer is well priced. :)

    Great show. Great selection of music played. Hyde is an incredible dancer. I was diggin his new moves and I have to say, it adds so much to their overall performance. I had a great deal of fun. I still cant believe I got to see them. I sincerely hope to see them again soon. I just wish that they would sell shirts, posters, stickers etc.

    Underworld - Show of One of the Best Show Seasons.

    by beacoupfish on 10/29/10Roseland Ballroom - New York

    This year was an amazing year for electronic music and even more amazing for the NYC scene. We had numerous bands come out with new albums and many of the greats showed up after long hiatuses to hit the NY scene. Kruder and Dorfmeister Chemical Brothers Massive Attack Unkle LCD Soundsystem Caribou ...just to name a few. And now Underworld. They attract the best crowds, the energy is unbelievable and no one performs like Mr. Hyde. Please go and enlighten yourself.

    Underworld was absolutely amazing, there are truly not enough words. I had wanted to see them perform live for years and they definitely did not disappoint. It's one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

    Epic

    by tenstrip on 10/29/10Roseland Ballroom - New York

    Flew from Miami to see this show. Intimate show, not sharing the stage with 20 other acts, like at festivals. Please come to Miami, possibly The Fillmore MB.

    Underworld

    by kodomo on 10/29/10Roseland Ballroom - New York

    Impressive show... They never cease to amaze me with their energy live. Strangely, they didn't play anything off of Second of the Toughest... but they ended with "Moaner" which was nothing less than spectacular. The visuals and lights were tastefully done.

    Underworld definitely know how to put on a good show. Of all electronic music bands / musicians they seem to have the formula down pat. They bring lots of positive energy and simply give it their all everytime they tour. I highly recommend seeing them if you enjoy electronic and/or dance music. They bring an integrity to dance music that few other acts can match.
