- From: "Mark Reed" <thegenius@btinternet.com>
- Subject: (mobility) V2000 Stafford, night two... Underworld + the rest
-
- And so to the second night of Britain's safest festival... Babies in buggies
- bouncing.. three pounds for a dodgy cheeseburger... an underwhelming crowd
- attendence.. and a complete absence of festival weirdos. If anything it
- seems the second day seems more enthusiastic, desperate for release, than
- day one. And onto the bands.
-
- Soulwax, somewhat bizarrely headline a Kerrang!-sponsored metal fest in
- London on Tuesday. No idea why. They come in pinstripe 70's suits, dodgy
- ties, and perform a set of enjoyable, if somewhat forgettable, retro pop
- that is both hugely good fun and completely foregttable. Next up,
- Morcheeba, who manage to present an almost offensively bland take on
- soulfunkdancetriphop. I think.
-
- First big draw of the day are All Saints, a band more famous for their
- assets than their music. 50 minutes of wishy washy sychronised dance
- routines, ass-shaking, and stadium pop I am asleep, alcohol sodden in the
- car park. Bentley Rhythm Ace, featuring Kermit of Black Grape, and Fuzz and
- Rich from the incredible PWEI, offer another set of enthusiastically cliched
- jokebeats from the Skint Stable and move yo ass but not even manage to touch
- yo brain.
-
- Who's next? Ocean Colour Scene who peddle their increasingly generic,
- irrelevant dadrock and Saint Etienne, who seem to be heading ever further
- down the avenue of diminishing returns with their palid, almost bland, take
- on retro semi-60's pop. Their set is enjoyable enough though, taking in a
- sizable portion of old classics (certainly far more than their limp
- Glastonbury set) in the shape of Like A Motorway, Nothing Can Stop Us, Only
- Love Can Break Your Heart, Heart Failed In The Back Of A Taxi.
-
- Bloodhound Gang are next,. Self-confessed priests of crap rock, they instead
- make probably the most controversial appearance of all the ones at V2000. By
- the end of the first song they have dragged someone on stage to drink their
- way through a crate of Virgin Cola in order to win $100. Next up they make
- an abusive heckler bare his buns to the crowd. A crowdsurfer is given a
- minute of free heckling behind a microphone. They start a conga that dances
- up and down the field. The bassist goes crowdsurfing. There's a mock-fight
- between the crew and the band. The guitarist holds spitting competitions.
- The bassist becomes a full blown Kiss-style fire-eater. Oh yeah, and then
- they all dress up in Slipknot boiler suits and masks and attempt a
- synchronised dance routine.
-
- After this the efforts of Macy Gray seem pale. Then again she seems pale in
- comparison to a white wall.
-
- Underworld are the final band of the weekend. I know there's Travis, whose
- dreary unimaginative stadium rock is all Virgin Cola for the masses, and
- Supergrass, who seem to be aware of the strengths and weakness at the
- mediocre plateau of their career and stick to it. But the new look slimmed
- down Underworld seem even more potent than ever before. It's as if the
- departure of Darren Emerson has honed the Vision into a singular, pure shaft
- of light. Rick now is a hyperactive child at the controls as he produces
- almost the entire Unerworld sign, an isolated brain in the control room, as
- Karl, the heart and soul, dances hyperactively all across the stage,
- commanding it in way he hasn't done before. The opener - a half hour slice
- of Juanita-Kiteless-To Dream of Love-Push Upstairs-Push Downstairs-Leave
- Home-Tin There-To Dream of Love - is pure heaven as Karl feels the beats
- compulsively, emotes streams of random gibberish at us as if he's taken the
- lid off your thoughts. Next up comes the Shudder/King Of Snake flavour,
- which is simple and unrelenting.
-
- Karl is a whirlwind diverish, dancing between the stage curtains, up and
- down, off the stage, through the banks of keyboards and anywhere else he can
- find with a massive smile on his face. Pearls Girl is next, and it sounds
- enormous. Dark Train triggers some kind of global orgasm as the chords kick
- in, and Karl straps his guitar on but doesn't even play it as the song
- reaches take off, before the mood is calmed, slightly, by the sweet,
- romantic, graceful and compelling Jumbo...
-
- Born Slippy - Nuxx - Telematic. We all know this one and can guess roughly
- what happens. Lots of people shouting "lager lager lager" and some loved up
- cavemen begin to dance.Finally, after many confused looks they realise
- they've still got 20 minutes left and a lot of songs left to play. Rick
- gently teases us off with the opening chords of the godlike Rez that simply
- build and build to the point where it seems you can't get any higher... and
- then you go higher. The loop of everythingeverythingeverythingeverything
- kicks off into Cowgirl and Underworld hit their peak and it seems that the
- entire arena is floating off the ground...Rez snakes back in after a joyous
- 10 minutes of Cowgirl, and the song slowly starts to land. One of the best
- gigs I've seen in years, and certainly the best Underworld gig I've ever
- seen.
-
- Underworld set: Juanita, Kiteless, To Deram Of Love, Push Upstairs, Push
- Downstairs, Leave Home, Tin There, To Dream Of Love, Shudder, King Of Snake,
- Pearls Girl, Dark and Long, Dark Train, Jumbo, Born Slippy, Nuxx, Telematic,
- Rez, Cowgirl, Rez.
-
- And that's it. 12 months from now, more moronic security guards, overpriced
- warm Cola, visionless Dadrock headline acts, and quese to get out of the Car
- Park. I'm looking forward to it.
