and from tinymixtapes.com
Speaking of album releases, Vice recently told TMT that The Boredoms are set to release a 6-CD box set. No street date has been set, and there really isn't information beyond what I've already said ("The Boredoms are set to release a 6-CD box set"), but it's exciting nonetheless! What is yet to be uncovered, though, is even a general description of the box set. Since, technically, the Boredoms are now named the Voordoms (fun fact: the "V" in Voordoms represents a turntable stylus, the infinity symbol that's supposed to be there represents two records, and the band is the motor), questions remain: will the box feature old demos, jams, and maybe live material from the Boredoms era? Or will this actually be six discs of NEW material??

sure, they didn't say anything about it, but i'm already excited.

omg. vice I take back everything.

― haitch (haitch), Monday, 10 April 2006 22:04 (nineteen years ago)

I hope it's new stuff, but my guess would be that it's Super Roots 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8?

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Monday, 10 April 2006 22:10 (nineteen years ago)

normally i would buy this, but since it's vice maybe i'll just download it?

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Monday, 10 April 2006 22:13 (nineteen years ago)

there's a good chance that i will be at the berlin show. i also have a good feeling on a nyc show being announced v. soon.

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 10 April 2006 22:17 (nineteen years ago)

I got my ticket for the Chicago date!

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Monday, 10 April 2006 22:56 (nineteen years ago)

a super roots box would be sweet, but i really hope it's new stuff. a box of live stuff would be awesome, too.

― Christopher Costello (CGC), Monday, 10 April 2006 23:03 (nineteen years ago)

it's going to be awesome no matter what it is, really.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Monday, 10 April 2006 23:07 (nineteen years ago)

A super megabling package of super roots would be a very nice xmas gift for me. everyone, take notes.

― Dominique (dleone), Monday, 10 April 2006 23:09 (nineteen years ago)

i am going to do everything i can to get to that st paul show.

I will be so fucking pissed if they reissue Super Roots 4 (edition of 3). The only people who are known to possess one are myself, Kim Gordon, and Sadaharu Oh.

― gbx (skowly), Monday, 10 April 2006 23:27 (nineteen years ago)

ha ha!

the amount of money i've spent on obscure boredoms side projects over the years is truly ridiculous. i was a mad collector at one point. i bet if we added the amount of money we've collectively spent on boredoms japanese imports over the years we could buy a small car.

i wish i could. i'd happily take a loss putting them on but i don't have a contact for their agent and doubt they'd add any more dates at this stage. i shall try to investigate though as it would be a dream come true.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 00:12 (nineteen years ago)

pls decode your email address and perhaps their agent can get in touch.

oh, well, in that case, Sam: any chance of a Montana date?

― gbx (skowly), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 00:31 (nineteen years ago)

No further west than MN?!?!

(sobs, drools over the very thought of a box set)

hi sam - i'm just about to fire off an email to you.

haha i wasn't being entirely serious but it's a nice dream.

well, i always try to make all my dreams come true so fingers crossed!

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 00:52 (nineteen years ago)

The box set was just denied by Vice on the Boredoms list. There was a live disc supposed to come out on Warner JP last year but it hasn't surfaced

ok so i guess i WILL go to Nantes before i head back stateside.

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

by some amazing stroke of luck i'll be in the Scotland the prior weekend, and in London from the 29th to June 2nd.

if anyone has a rumor about an NYC show, out with it now? Because if I try to drag my gf to a Boredoms show during our first night of a London vacation, she might stab me with scissors.

I know the neighborhood but have never been inside Sheperd's Bush Empire. Pretty big, right? Is it the equivalent of our Irving Plaza or our Beacon Theater?

Because if I try to drag my gf to a Boredoms show during our first night of a London vacation, she might stab me with scissors.

ha! you should just take your girlfriend to the boredoms show, nutramentmike! i think dragging your significant other to a boredoms show would be quite romantic (perhaps this is why i am not dating anyone right now?!) anyway, if it's anything like when i last saw them last, they'll turn the lights off in the beginning and EYE will spin around wires around with big shining lights on the end of it, which is a very pretty effect. it is easy to appreciate aesthetically even if you are not into the music.

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

actually, my ex gf had fun at the boredoms show, not to mention a Ruins show. I think these bands get a bad rap as noisemakers when in fact they are really just fun time rock music people at heart

― Dominique (dleone), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:37 (nineteen years ago)

I know the neighborhood but have never been inside Sheperd's Bush Empire. Pretty big, right? Is it the equivalent of our Irving Plaza or our Beacon Theater?

its closer to the muppet show theatre than irving plaza (not been to beacon theater)

― Washable School Paste (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

I took a date to the Boredoms, but it was my ex-girlfriend's best friend, so that's another hill to climb. She dug the lights and got bored of the drummel at the same time I did.

― Washable School Paste (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

shepherds bush empire a great venue, probably the best of its size in london. the bbc used to film tv shows there. boredoms will slay (i should buy some tix...)

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

V?‡redoms are pretty chill compared to Ruins, dudes

yeah but still fun. it's not like when I took her to Black Dice, which I tried to tell her was actually not the harshest thing we could have seen

― Dominique (dleone), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

yeah they have loads of female fans!

one of my friends described a boredoms set many years ago as being so loud and punishing that he had to tear up all his cigarettes and stick the filters in his ears, but they're not like that anymore. v?redoms were like watching a hippie drum circle or something. noisier than the starry-eyed jamminess of albums like VCN but still on that general wavelength.

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

Ticketmaster has a Boredoms show in Cleveland on the 28th, the night after the Columbus show, so there will hopefully be more coming out of the woodwork.

― Harpal (harpal), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

I gave a ticket to the last Chicago show to my friend Jenny for her birthday. She said her friends at work told her not to go, that Boredoms are a metal band. I said "no no no they sound like travelling really fast in a speed boat and holding your hand just about the rushing water." She was happy that she went!

― Tripmaker (SDWitzm), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

ha! i like that speed boat/rushing water comparison. my friend douglas (who posts on ILM) once said that boredoms' "seadrum" was "like a parade so long neither end can be seen."

the London show was grebt. girlfriend dug it too, much to my astonishment (geeta you were right upthread). this song from ATP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV8qO6OE3SA was played for about 15 minutes at shepherds bush. good crowd, but some fuckwits kept yelling out "ACID polis-ay" during the quieter drumming moments.

i was a little off my tits at the bowery show last year, i can't remember how many people were on stage. anyone recall the spring '05 incarnation?

Aren't the NY performances free though? But what's this about 77 drums? Are they still going to have an installation or is it just going to be the performances?

― mike powell (mike powell), Monday, 5 June 2006 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

Just wanted to let the NY crew who care that Boredoms just announced a Webster Hall show on Sunday July 2. Tickets are on sale at Ticketweb.

The 77 DRUM performance set for the Deitch Gallery turned out to be more ambitious than planning and timing allowed, and is expected debut in New York City on 7/7/07.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 5 June 2006 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

The Deitch was originally a free show, Christopher; hence your presumption.
I may have a ticket to sell at face value for Philly; I'll post on this thread once I know.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 5 June 2006 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

There's nothing in that Beta piece that sounds like Powell's first paragraph, though, apart from the fact that they both tell the history of the band.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 21:25 (nineteen years ago)

If this is it, I'm not convinced. Both of you are just stating facts:

The Boredoms broke up in 1998 after what the band considered to be their most perfect musical performance ever at the Fuji-Rock festival.

The Boredoms S/D thread (circa April/May 2003) has a lot of the rundown on the current band sideprojects.

"The Boredoms" only exists in the minds of the ATP folk and equally opportunistic booking agents in USA/Europe. This band is actually known in Japan as The "VOOredoms" (or a variation of, the band changes their name regularly).

The V?‡REDOMS played New Years Eve in Yokohama, and later eYe DJ-d a set at shinjyuku liquid room in Tokyo.

However, the majority of the band lives in Kyoto... far to the South of Tokyo on the main island of Japan (Honshu). It's a 2.5 hour ride by bullet train (shinkansen) and is about $200 roundtrip. Or you can take overnight bus which'll run you about $135 roundtrip.

I will take a look sometime tonight and see if anything Boredoms related is happening in metro Tokyo in the next couple weeks.

Stylus (10/23/2006):
Technically, the Boredoms don’t exist. They broke up in 1998 after the Fuji Rock festival. Eye, the dreadlocked nutjob-cum-visionary-cum-nutjob who had started the band 12 years earlier, declared their set perfect. Their guitarist, Yamamoto, destroyed his instrument. Boredoms R.I.P, 1986-1998.

VV (7/8/2005):
And then? The Boredoms broke up. Or maybe just Yamamoto left, shattering his guitar at the climax of the Fuji Rock Festival in August of 1999, after what he deemed "the perfect set."

Douglas Wolk (10/19/2004):
I've heard it said that Boredoms actually broke up in 1998, when they played a "perfect" show at the Fuji Rock festival and Yamamotor smashed his guitar, and that the current band is either called Vooredoms (with or without an infinity sign replacing the "oo") or 7V07.

********************************************************************

from gygax!'s interview with Seiichi Yamamoto in Osaka 2003:

"and then i left the band, on stage at fuji-rock, i just threw up my guitar and it fell down and exploded, we had played the most perfect music we could ever play."

true, I do read ILM here and there (and was actually coming on to look up something about an Eye-related project), but the thought that I'd've *plaigiarized* anyone on the site is kinda absurd and offensive. oh well. as john suggests, I was just stating facts that have been stated in every piece written about the band in the last couple of years.

there's also stuff after the first paragraph, hey.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 23:00 (nineteen years ago)

Eye refuses to talk about the breakup or does so in vague language.

Yamamoto is the only one who's talked about it. Even the Studio Voice monster issue really glosses over it.

My bad for calling Mike out because I think he was just naively grazing off of the other citations.

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Thursday, 26 October 2006 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

OK, here's the funny thing....

I remember that gygax! post, and I remember pointing out that I had seen a group that was very much the Boredoms (ie, Seiichi was there) at a festival in Irvine on July 4, 1999. There is even a photo from this show in the insert to VCN.

If you look at the quotes above, only the VV one has the correct date (ie, they apparently broke up in August 1999, not 1998). The fact the others all have the same incorrect year would tend to corroborate that they were all using the info that was originally posted by gygax! (!)

I couldn't tell, but I thought Seichi wasn't at the This Ain't No Picnic 1999 in Irvine, and I made a mental note of it... although they were billed as Boredoms regardless. But I'd have to see the pics from that show, because it had been six years since I last saw Boredoms play.

At Irvine 99, was Seiichi playing guitar? I know that at one Fuji Rock he played djembe or some shit in Uoredoms (early V∞redoms incarnation) as documented on the Vision Creation Newsun EP....

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Thursday, 26 October 2006 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

I couldn't tell, but I thought Seichi wasn't at the This Ain't No Picnic 1999 in Irvine

OK I may very well be wrong. I was under the impression that Boredoms = big group with guitar and bass and when Seiichi left they became Voordoms = just eYe+drummers. Maybe there was a transitional period I don't know about?

But if Seiichi was replaced with another guitar player, it seems to me it would be a bit presumptuous for him to say the group ended when he left. It's just semantics I guess.

"and then i left Phish, on stage at granola-rock, i just threw up my guitar and it fell down and exploded, we had played the most perfect music we could ever play." - Trey Anastasio

― am0n (am0n), Thursday, 26 October 2006 22:20 (nineteen years ago)

Nope. When Yamamoto left, Boredoms broke up.

The last thing he recorded with the band was the Phish cover, around the same time as Karera Musication's (Boredoms -EYE) soundtrack for Ichi The Killer.

Yamamoto's on good terms with the rest of the band, his projects often play on the same bills as other post-Boredoms projects. He has a new band called Para which he started after his wife died in a car accident while on tour with DMBQ in the USA last year.

So, if Yamamoto(r) did tour with the band in 1999, then we do have a media relying on media relying on media relying on gygax! un-factoid situation (since it was 1999 then, not 1998)
