Basement Jaxx!!

[HunterGather]

eh?

[HunterGather]

mofos.
They just announced 5 new UK dates in december, in addition to the 02 Arena date.

Either they are prepping for some US shows between september and november, or we'll have to wait 'til 2010.

[HunterGather]

In a new Billboard interview, they said about U.S. dates:

After recent tours in South America and Australia, the band is booking on a full slate of European festivals before some dates in South Korea and Japan. As for any U.S. dates, Buxton remains non-committal. "If people like the music and really get into it, then we’ll probably come," he says. "If they don't, we won't."

I don't know what that means. Maybe they are waiting for the album to come out (now due in october).

[shakermaker113]

it means they think people don't like them in america. which to an extent is true. they certainly aren't liked here anywhere near as much as they are in europe or australia. (or I guess south korea or japan)

[HunterGather]

Ya its true.
But i don't expect a big ol' tour. A few big cities and/or some festivals.

[shakermaker113]

I can understand their apathy. why travel all the way to and across the US to play to a few thousand people when you can play to the same number of people in one night in london?

[summerkid]

Coachella crowd loves them though ( :

[boarderwoozel3]

Haven't played Coachella since 2004? New album dropping this fall? Yep, sign'em up!

[nbvcide]

that, or HARD Haunted Mansion..

[Botrocker]

They're not gonna play HARD.

[boarderwoozel3]

Would you ever have guessed Underworld would play HARD? But in all fairness UW fits the "HARD mold" better than the Jaxx.

I'd rather see them at Coachella anyway.

To be honest no. You're right I would have never guessed a year ago that they would play a Hard event. I don't think Basement Jaxx fills that mold as well.

[feather]

^ Seriously I never thought I'd see the day...

...but we all knew HARD events needed to do something different if they wanted to keep surviving. Adding authentic acts such as Underworld definitely does the trick.

[Gribbz]

How does Underworld fit the mold better than Basement Jaxx? Please explain.

[boarderwoozel3]

I say that because Underworld are more computer driven and Basement Jaxx are more organic in their live show. UW have more of an edge to them that seems to resonate with the demographic HARD is going after. The Jaxx--while equally splendid--are more of a dance band, live anyway. But both certainly do DJ sets.

More than anything else it's that Underworld has more of an edge than Basement Jaxx.

[Bud Luster]

Wow, the "Feelings Gone" tune is pretty nice too! I think Im going to like this album better than some of their others.

[Gribbz]

he Jaxx--while equally splendid--are more of a dance band, live anyway.

Perhaps, but by judging past HARD line-ups it seems like the typical HARD audience would prefer a dancey band over something like UW.

[nbvcide]

They're not gonna play HARD.

i'll remember you said that...

[higgybaby23]

HARD put out a teaser mix for the Halloween show and said that within it were clues to the lineup. The mix contained "Where's Your Head At". Soooo, I wouldn't be surprised by their appearance at all.

[feather]

Friday of Coachella I was talking to Supre, "Underworld may play HARD Summer their music is on the site..."

Next day... flyers littered the ground with UNDERWORLD on the lineup. It happens.

If it is the Jaxx then you should come out Adam. Or are you going to see Phish at the polo grounds?

[higgybaby23]

^I'm going with the polo grounds

But, next year will be my year of PLURtastic raving action. I plan on doing EDC and anything else worth while in SoCal.

[team squirrel]

Basement Jaxx IS playing Hard Haunted Mansion. It's on the Hard website. I will go there to see them but I would rather just wait and see them at Coachella, do you think they will play this year?

[sonofhal]

You mean next year?

I heard their Big Chill performance was pretty flat. Hopefully they'll get it together before i see them in Copenhagen at Beat Day next weekend.
