UNDERWORLD ANNOUNCE LIVE INTERNET RADIO BROADCAST

It all started in October 2004. Rick Smith and Karl Hyde (Underworld) were once again sitting in for the late John Peel on BBC Radio 1 while he was on holiday - his death on that holiday provided the stimulus for Rick and Karl to continue and develop their passion for broadcasting.

Karl Hyde: “The first time we did a broadcast in the studio we could see thousands of people logging on. We were playing our own tunes, jamming, chatting, we had a webcam up, a chat-room - people could talk to us. Rick was pulling stuff out of the archive that had never been heard - unreleased, unfinished stuff - oh it was such a buzz”.

In 2005, countless impromptu and occasional radio broadcasts later, Underworld beamed audio and video live to the internet, for free from Tokyo and Osaka. These became the first of many of their live shows to be broadcast for free over the internet - with their performance at Cocoon Club, Frankfurt in 2006 being the first to be available in full-frame TV resolution video. This broadcast attracted over 20,000 viewers around the world.

The Broadcasts will be available exclusively live (and “on demand” after the event) at underworldlive.com.
