It's a shame that UR seem to want to only play festivals and venues
like
Fabric in the UK. Its not working obviously.
I think it's a brave move and probably a good way to present Techno,
especially in the USA - where people are more accepting of the "band"
format, this is something that Dan Sicko hinted at in his book and
seems to me like the next logical step to, at the very least, making a
difference.
They may have been unlucky with some of their slots of late but then
again who here hasn't at one time or another played to an empty room or
been in one!
When LH played in London
the other week there was a fight at the front just before they came on,
if these are the people UR really want to play to then I'm shocked.
This is way beyond their control and you can't really level this as an
argument at them I believe.
I tried to book them last year or the year before ( I cant remember
100%) when the Leeds gig fell apart but Banks just didn't want to know
about a London gig. Shame coz I had a wicked venue lined up.
It is a shame but if he doesn't want to do something, that's his call
really.
I think UR have the wrong impression of the UK crowd and feel they can
only play to these audience, which is not the case.
How so, they played all different kinds of venues across Europe and the
UK, so I'd say that this isn't the case.
