So I hear about this blurb somebody wrote about an event in Barcelona,
Spain, where Underground Resistance was on the bill. The writer has
his head up his arse, and didn't check his facts or willingly lied.
Underground Resistance was not scheduled for a live show. It was a DJ
assault only. They were delayed due to weather in Detroit, and missed
the connecting flight out of New York. They tried every optional
airline, no flights. They called the promoter, who suggested that they
send just Suburban Knight on the Concord (at an outrageous rate). SK
went, played a good set, and came home as normal. The promoter was
happy, and they are planning additional events with UR.
In the article in Musik, the writer makes it out that UR was scheduled
to play live and that they demanded the Concord for their flights.
This is such bullshit for anyone who knows Mad Mike and the UR guys.
These are the guys who are going to be going to the middle of a forest
2+ hours outside of San Francisco, asking only that their plane tickets
are covered, and maybe some pork n beans and some pepsi.
I expected so much more from Ben Turner. I hope he tightens up his
editorial control.
