Has anybody here been to a Boredoms gig?

I was a bit bummed that the Super Roots CD were selling for $20 each. I don't paying a little more at a show for something I can get at a local store, if it increases the chances of a band I love from coming back to tour here again. On the other hand, those Super Roots CDs are, what, 10 bucks elsewhere? 2x the normal price breaks my loyalty threshold. :/

I don't mind paying, etc.

Were they the Vice reissues? I could understand it if they were the import versions.

cds and records are supposed to be CHEAPER at gigs!!!

you're cutting out the middleman and the band makes WAY more by selling htem to you directly.

Just went to the show last night in Chicago, and agreed about the prices being high, but I guess they have to make a living and it's a capitalist system, so if people are willing to pay it, go ahead. But yeah, $20 for Super Roots is quite much, especially when most of them aren't that long. I was more interested in some Yoshimi thing, but it was $40. There was also the Yoshimi and Mats Gustafsson collab for $30, which I think my local store had for $17 or $18. No Eye - Re: Remix though, sadly, but then that would have probably cost $40 too.

ANYWAY, the show itself was TREMENDOUS & SUPER, as everyone has said. It was my 2nd time seeing them, and having the 7-necked guitar thing added a lot to it, both musically and visually. And having the show in the round and being able to stand right beside the stage, specifically next to Eye's set-up was great. I can't believe he was still able to move around and even jump as much as he did with the broken foot. Very impressive indeed. Boredoms for life!

P.S. Does anyone have any idea about the music being played between bands? It was various tribal chant type stuff, probably just from comp's maybe, but I wouldn't mind checking out more of that kind of thing.

DOLLAR IS WEAK

Yunnan Colorfree? it is v good

I don't think it was Yunan Colorfree, looking at the cover of that one. Sounds cool though, cover of Death Valley 69 with Kim Gordon! I don't remember the title of what was there last night, unfortunately. There was also a DVD of OOIOO videos, I think that was $50. Does anyone have that Live at Sun Flancisco CD/DVD? Would love to see the footage, but can't justify spending $53 for it.

This coming August 8th, in New York, Boredoms will be heading up a sequal to the 77 Drummer Boadrum concert that was held under the Brooklyn Bridge. This year, 8/8/08, there will be eighty-eight drummers. Numerology aligns expansion.

DOLLAR IS WEAK

Sure, but they were selling the Vice reissue CDs (not imports as o nate inquired) for $20 each, which I can find for $10 at any store in town.

Hey, they can sell the CDs for any price they want! Whatever. But if they don't sell any because they're jacked too high, then that hurts the Bores too. Weak dollar sucks for anyone touring the U.S., whether the band is from the U.S. or not. Just sayin'.

$10 refers to wrapped/new/sealed, btw

lol but they dont live in america

I have it and its not worth it

I would also like to know about this

Show was FANTASTIC yesterday, although not as completely mind-blowing as when I saw them at Intonation, despite lack of length/encore.

I'm excited about 13/13/13

the 8/8/8 thing was eye shooting his mouth off; i've seen no concrete info

if anyone wants to go to the boston show on saturday night, email me at burnhamsaurusrex at gee mail dot com. i will give you the extra ticket that i have. i would hate to see it go to waste.

waiting on some sponsorship stuff, but he wants to do it

this sounds like a recipe for disaster

Other Music is very excited to be hosting an in-store performance with Japan's legendary Boredoms, who will be playing in the round on the shop floor this Monday, March 31st!! As you can imagine, space will be extremely limited, so starting today (Friday) at 6:00PM, we're going to give single-person passes to the first 50 people who come into the shop and purchase their new album Super Roots 9, out on Thrill Jockey (one CD per customer -- sorry, no web orders). Your receipt will be your ticket, which you'll need to have with you to gain entrance on Monday night.

I dunno if sales to the show are that crazy, honestly.

damn other music is gonna be wild

the 8/8/8 thing was eye shooting his mouth off; i've seen no concrete info

it's definitely in the works

best believe i'll get on the list this time :/

8/8 is my birthday :)

I'm kinda considering going by Other Music tonight now... hmmm...

some of the stuff on this new matmos lp is kind of like a digital vcn.

so good tonight in boston. was hoping for the trident, a la 77boadrum, but the wands and broomstick(?) worked just fine. looking forward to brooklyn in august.

I chickened out and didn't go to Other Music on Friday. I wonder if forks did.

according to brooklyn vegan's comments, other music had around 20 tickets left at 4:00 pm, today (saturday)

i would love to go, but i have no one to go with. and going to concerts alone is kinda boring for me.

yea dominique otm but we thought 77 drum was going to be in 2006

boredoms trading cards would be neat.

there was a girl rocking out harder than everyone else on the second floor. i made my way up and hugged her. it was worth it.

last night in ny's terminal 5

Yeah, the crowd on the first floor was a little less than crazy. The performance was so, so awesome though.

It was louder upstairs

I'm gonna be completely honest - I saw them last night in DC and I was bored outta my fucking mind. Not even the good kind of bored where you can go to sleep, but the kind where you get really agitated and can't sit still. I've seen them before and enjoyed it. I don't think it's that the show got worse (although maybe it did a little bit from the shit they were doing a couple years ago), but I think I'm outgrowing any kind of "experimental" music. I used to love the shit, but now I just like old plain-ass country rock.
