offramp Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The Lemon Tree & interesting music promotions present:BOREDOMS + MICHAEL GIRAWednesday 24th October 2007The Lemon Tree, 5 West North Street, Aberdeen AB24 5AT. Phone (01224) 642230Doors 8pm | Entry 15.50 | 10 Lemon Tree Concessions & Regularshttp://www.lemontree.org/music-boredoms.htmlhttp://www.myspace.com/interestingmusicBOREDOMSCelebrating their 20th anniversary, the legendary Japanese avant-garde rock band Boredoms bring a visceral live experience to Aberdeen for the first time and Scotland for only the second. Comprised of three drummers and a keyboard-playing turntables-mashing vocalist, they have wowed audiences the world around for the best part of two decades, playing to sell-out crowds, garnering much critical acclaim and becoming firm favourites of Nirvana and Sonic Youth as well as performing regularly at the All Tomorrow's Parties festivals. Boredoms' experiments in post-rock, kraut-rock and space-rock have led to them to being called "the most out-there band in the world", with their record Super Ae described as one of the best albums of the 90s by Pitchforkmedia.com. However, their live performances are where they truly shine - bringing their beautiful, melodic, sometimes tribal music to life on stage, with an absolutely unparalleled live show. Aberdeen, meet Osaka.http://www.myspace.com/boredomshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoredomsMICHAEL GIRAAlso on this superb double bill is Michael Gira - owner of Young God Records which spawned Devendra Banhart amongst many other luminaries. Michael also founded the influential Swans. Now armed with a sombre voice and an acoustic guitar, he makes bare and direct folk-tinged, song-based but still crucial music.Recently performed an utterly thrilling acoustic set (The Independent) at Indian Summer. Not to be missed. Seriouslyhttp://www.younggodrecords.comhttp://www.swans.pair.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

free tibet Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 The performance's 77 full 5-piece, 3 cymbal drum kits will be arranged in a circular pattern, spiraling out from the center like a coiled snake, where the Boredoms' own drum kits and Eye' s electronic instruments will sit atop a raised platform. Joining the Boredoms will be 74 additional drummers, 10 of whom will serve as drum leaders and cue the rest.The volunteer army of drummers represent many of the best players in New York City's avant/experimental underground and were selected by the event's music director Hisham Bharoocha. They come from a diverse group of bands and musicians who have drawn influence and inspiration from the Boredoms throughout the group's 20-year career, including, Tim Dewit and Lizzi Bougatsos of Gang Gang Dance, David Grubbs, Hart Mingus of Negative Approach, Matthias Schulz of Holy Fuck, and members of Aa, Crash Worship, God Is My Co-Pilot, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Oneida, Excepter, Antietam, Dymaxion, Panthers, and many others. The full line-up of drummers will be finalized this week.wow !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 ex Pitchfork of course77 on 7/7/07Boredoms Put Out Call for 77 Drummers Psych-loving, post-millennial krautrock drummers: this is your chance. Legendary Japanese collective Boredoms, led by the enigmatic Eye, have put out a call for drummers to fill out their oft-postponed "77 Drum" performance installation.As previously reported, the piece calls for 77 drummers to join the band for a performance in Brooklyn on July 7. But now, that performance has a location: the lawn of the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park section of Brooklyn Bridge Park. The free show is in celebration of the band's 20th anniversary and will take place at 5 p.m. (doors open at 3 p.m.).Boredoms need volunteer drummers to fill out the ensemble, and a handful of those 77 will serve as drum leaders from whom the rest will take their cues. Though we don't expect this thing to be particularly organized, it's hard to imagine it not being at least 74 or 75 different kinds of cool.Interested drummers should contact Hisham Bharoocha (currently of Soft Circle and formerly of Lightning Bolt and Black Dice) at [e-mail address retracted at Bharoocha's request] for more information. Former Minuteman/current Stooge Mike Watt and Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley are helping to spread the word about the performance, so there should be all sorts of cool people involved.

lowball Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 well worth the admission money for Boredoms alone, but started to listen to Mr Gira & also his Angels of Light project, pretty spellblinding stuff. A fantastic night in prospect, can't wait for this to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I would be going for Mr Gira. I've not heard the Boredoms yet.His 'Angels of Light' are Akron/Family. My mole tells me they may be returning to Aberdeen soon (but not for this night, I fear). My plooks are mum at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
