Boredoms - 77 Boadrum (retail 2008)

I know this is early but as soon as i heard this i had to share it. If you know anything about noise you know about Boredoms (or V∞redoms). Yamantaka Eye is what you could call their frontman and founder. After years playing with Hanatarash, one of the most insane bands ever. Eye would offen throw sheets of glass on stage with no regard for the crowd or his own safty, at one show he strapped a circular saw to his back (cutting his leg) and later drove a fork lift through the back of the stage nearly destroying the building. (check out some photos from it!) After a few years Hanatarash was banned from most venus in Japan and Eye would decide to forum a new band in the dust of what was Hanatarash, the Boredoms. On July 7, 2007, Boredoms performed a concert entitled 77 Boadrum in Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City with 77 drummers playing one song lasting 77 minutes on 7/7/07. If that isnt bad ass enough they did it the next year on 8/8/08 with 88 drummers! I have heard a few different bootleg recordings from th 77 boadrums show but nothing compares to this retail release. its alot to take in at once but once you begin to understand what Boredoms is about you can respect it for what it is, a masterpeice. I just hope i can make it to 9/9/09!
