Hey, at least they showed up, unlike their Mutek appearance.

floor would problem tell you they don't like techno even when there
dancing to it. Its that type of crowd. There not there for the music,
they seem to be more into fighting and taking drugs.
The reason I think it's a shame is other promoters would love the
chance
to put them on but don't get the opportunity. I think Fabric was a bad
move for them in London. Although I did really enjoyed the gig.
You think they may have been unlucky with some of their slots of late,
its there call and it seems they not be doing there home work that
well.
LH at glade is a silly move for starters, hence they played to hardly
any one.
And just so you know, I think there great and Im not having a go, it
could just be a lot better.

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.
