EYE Q&A re: Z-Rock Hawaii—August, 2009
How did the Z-Rock Hawaii project come about?I don’t remember exactly, but I loved Ween so I was really excited when they talked to me about it.
What do you remember about working with Ween? How was the music composed and recorded? Did you actually perform in the same room with them?I was staying at Mickey’s house. I’m pretty sure it was the house they called “The Pod." Andrew was the engineer. I don’t remember exactly how we wrote the songs, but I remember it being fun.
Were you a fan of Ween before you met them? What do you enjoy about their music?Of course I was a fan. There’s something natural about their music. Something really laid-back and spontaneous.
Since Z-Rock Hawaii was recorded around the same time as Chocolate and Cheese, do you remember hearing anything from that album before it was released? If so, what was your opinion of the material?Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to listen to it back then.
Do you have any other impressions of Chocolate and Cheese? Was it influential to the Boredoms at all?I’m not sure. I really love it, but I don’t know if it had an influence on the Boredoms.
Do you notice any general similarities between Ween and the Boredoms?Maybe it’s that we’re all geeks? (I hope that doesn’t sound rude.)

There are a horrendous number of cuts in this video but this was the best Boredoms show I've seen (out of more than a dozen).

I really, really wish they'd have released an official live recording of the drumkits + vox + electronics + guitar fence lineup by now. That volume of Super Roots with the choir kind of playing the electronics role comes closest but doesn't match the exhilaration of the shows I've seen.
― the dyspeptic Hirax (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 15:54 (eleven years ago) link
absolutely - I saw them in 2009 and the material was all new and really amazing, but I fear it'll never be captured on an official recording
― frogbs, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 16:30 (eleven years ago) link
listened to super ae for the first time today. maybe the best initial listening experience to an album i have ever had.

Enjoyed the Barbican show last week. Bloody noisy but lots of fun. Wrote about it for the Quietus. Basically 88 people playing cymbals for 2 hours http://thequietus.com/articles/18281-live-report-boredoms-live-review
There's also a piece by one of the players here, which is interesting to read http://thequietus.com/articles/18270-boredoms-live

sounds awesome. 77 Boadrum (the first event) was a truly pivotal experience for me. the ones in following years didn't quite live up but it's probably because I got the message so strongly the first time I was predisposed to disappointment when repeating the experience. Is the guy with the ballcap still part of the core drumkit circle? That guy astonishes me.
― demonic mnevice (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 14:56 (nine years ago) link
i was down in the stalls, near the front which would have been excellent in other circumstances but as such i only really got to see the backs of the cymbal players.

Seeing them in London next week, super excited but I'm a little out of the loop with what they're doing as far as the live setup and music goes, has it changed? anybody seen them recently?

Seadrum/House of Sun-era Boredoms drummer EDA has a band called Adreena Adreena and they are playing this Thursday at Iklectik in London, they look pretty interesting, it's EDA playing solo kit and samples/toys with a huge sphere above his head onto which the other member projects images.

Boredoms records are super expensive but this one has such an awesome album cover i've wanted this for years. might have to invest in some Super Roots as well...
