- The duo will record their upcoming Brixton Academy shows and make them available for sale soon after.
- Karl Hyde and Rick Smith will continue to take a page from Pearl Jam's book next month and will record their shows at Brixton Academy and offer them up for release shortly afterwards. While the grunge rockers famously made every performance from their 2003 tour available to fans, the Underworld boys have only been doing it for a short time. Those fans who made it out to dates on their Oblivion With Bells tour could relive the glory with select shows being made available via their website. It's a business move that makes a lot of sense in a world where bootlegs of live shows make their way into the digital world more often than not anyway. If you want to catch the live experience, Kitsuné's autoKratz will be offering support each night, with Appleblim DJing on Friday and Rob Da Bank taking care of the decks on Saturday. Fans who just can't wait can preorder the album, ensuring that they get an mp3 downlod of the show mere hours after the band leaves the stage, as well as a high quality WAV download on November 10th before the double CD ships.
