release:

On August 8th, 2008 [8.8.08], Nike Sportswear will present Boredoms' 88Boadrum - an unprecedented aural and visual experience, on the same day in New York and Los Angeles.

Boredoms, the seminal Japanese noise band, will build on their legendary and lauded reputation for mesmerizing sound installations hosting 88BoaDrum - LA, on 8.8.08. Commencing at precisely 8:08 PM PST the 88-minute experience at the historic La Brea Tar Pits will feature 88 drummers selected by Boredoms and 88BoaDrum artistic director, Hisham Bharoocha of Soft Circle [formerly of Lightening Bolt, Black Dice].

88BoaDrum - NYC will take place at 8:08 PM EST in New York City, conducted on behalf of Boredoms and Nike Sportswear by Brooklyn's Gang Gang Dance. Set on the Williamsburg Waterfront, 88 drummers will perform the same 88-minute piece, newly composed by Eye of Boredoms and interpreted by Gang Gang Dance.

Each experience will be commemorated with a very special Nike Sportswear 88BoaDrum NSW Tee collection. The NSW Tee's will be hand-screened at each location with an original graphic of choice, including designs created by Eye from Boredoms. This collection will be available exclusively on 8.8.08.

88BoaDrum is the natural evolution of 77BoaDrum, one of the most talked about and critically celebrated music events of the past years. Supported by Nike Sportswear, 77BoaDrum took place in Brooklyn Bridge Park, where Boredoms and 74 hand-selected drummers from New York's underground brought life to Boredoms monumental vision through an original 77-minute composition.

Nike Sportswear presents Boredoms' 88BoaDrum will be free and open to the public. Tickets are required for entry and are available on first-come-first-served basis starting Friday 18th from www.brownpapertickets.com, Amoeba Records and LACMA (88BoaDrum - LA ) and Other Music and Sound Fix Records (88BoaDrum - NYC). Tickets are limited to one per person. For further information, www.nikesportswear.com

Nike Sportswear presents Boredoms' 88BoaDrum is produced by JellyNYC.

[About Boredoms]
Long regarded as musical pioneers, Boredoms have continually pushed sonic boundaries and inspired musicians for over 20 years. Their albums and their performances defy categorization, each one a completely unique event. The one commonality is that the members of the Boredoms have amazing technical skills as musicians, limitless imagination and the ability to combine the two - as no others have.

[About Gang Gang Dance]
The arc and trajectory on which Gang Gang Dance have propelled themselves since their inception can only be described in terms of evolution. Four individuals with deep-rooted ties to the art community and almost boundless creative energy orienting themselves into a musical collaboration, the direction of which is almost as unpredictable as it is focused. Gang Gang Dance participated in 2007's 77BoaDrum and are based in Brooklyn, New York.

so no Boredoms members in NY, and the band is at least "hosting" in LA?

The 7/7/07 show in Brooklyn last year was probably the best concert I've ever been to. If the drummers keep time as well as they did last year--and if Eye cranks out some ridiculous invention like the guitar necks wall that he was smashing with a trident(!)--then it's definitely worth going to.

so how crazy will getting tickets be for this?

who else comes down from SF?

Hell, I'm thinking of flying down from Seattle for this.

L.A., stop it with these once in a lifetown show things. Please.

lifetime, huhhuh

Letting the days go by?

Once in a Lifehouse.

what's the ticketweb link

all sold out

if anyone has extra tickets, please let me know!!! will pay $$$$

email me - kevincollinsworth at gmail.com

Thank you for reserving a ticket to next month's BOREDOMS 88BOADRUM performance.

Your name has been added to the RSVP list for the event. HOWEVER, the RSVP response has been overwhelming - which means that we CANNOT guarantee admission, except on a first come-first served basis. We cannot overstate this: Not everyone will be allowed in.

The line will begin at the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax at 8:30pm. Please do NOT arrive before 8:30pm as the police stationed there will ask you to move along. Doors will open at 8:88pm. After we hit capacity, we can only admit you on a one-in, one-out basis.

PLEASE BE PREPARED TO WAIT, OR TO BE TURNED AWAY.

===========

Use of public transport is highly recommended. The closest MTA stops are York Street on the F train, Clark Street on the 2 and the 3 trains, and Cadman Plaza on the A and C trains.

Starting at 4pm will be DJ sets by Gang Gang Dance, and live performances from Soft Circle and Japanther (tentative). 88BOADRUM will begin at 8:88pm and end with the moon rise.

BOREDOMS request that you leave your cameras at home for 88BOADRUM. In their words, "We want people to remember in their mind, not in their camera." It's looking like it will be beautiful night so remember to bring moonscreen.

===========

Since you'll be in the neighborhood, it's worth mentioning that Nike and PowerHouse have a show opening the same day as 88BOADRUM, just around the corner. RE-RUN: A contemporary installation inspired by the renegade spirit and energy of running in the 1970s, including photographs, graphics and a series of specially-commission artworks.
The PowerHouse Arena
37 Main Street, Silverlake
Exhibition runs August 8 - 22, 2008, open to the public 12pm - 7pm daily.

===========

Also opening is The 5th Annual Vice Photo Show at the tempMOCA. Open daily Wednesday through Sunday from August 8th - August 9th. Copies of Vice Photo Issue available at tempMOCA for the duration of the show.

===========

After the performance you're invited to the official 88BOADRUM afterparty: Hayyyyyyyy at RAGE (West Hollywood). It's the HEALTH record release party with live performance from DJ Steve Aoki. $25

I remember running in the 1970s, it was more german then

8:88 pm?

do they mean 9:28?

i think the japanese are on metric time?

I think Drudge is going to this (and Rage) !

The japanese are just like the british it's uncanny

http://www.drudgereport.com/siren.gifIt's looking like it will be beautiful night so remember to bring moonscreenhttp://www.drudgereport.com/siren.gif

remind me some day to tell you more about the japanese

Don't be too regretful about living in The Valley. At least you didn't wait 3 hours on line after having "RSVPd" and get turned away (in favor of a thousand or so "VIPs"). Utterly idiotic admission logistics; nice job, Viceland.

Posted by: Bill W | July 19, 2008 at 02:05 PM

Aweomse, I totally have tickets. Bidding starts ... now! service fee, 400 burt bux.

I just got this email from the event coordinator when I asked him if they'd be selling any more tickets.

"Hi Steve,

Brown paper bag is like something to conceal a bottle of liquor.

your ticket = bottle

88BoaDrum = liquor

The brown paper bag is just a way not to get arrested by the police.

-- admrl, Wednesday, July 16, 2008 1:49 PM (5 days ago) Bookmark Link

hi dere

me too! just booked my flight down, got tickets and my buddy Warren is one of the 88!

dude, i love warren. such a nice guy. i got tix. will be coming down.

but will this be as good as the glow festival?

Glow was glorious! I LOVED every single second of that fantastic evening. Here's my off the cuff breakdown on what i did, and why it was so cool:

I went around with three prancing pony friends who totally come to life in places rife with adventure, mystery and mirth. Artist/actor/ writer/film-heads on the loose… GLOW is totally up our playground alley!!

Lessee.. first we hooked up on the swelling dance floor to tasty drum and bass, and off we went to see the flowy, glowy sea creature art under the pier. It was soo magical and glorious; we were completely entranced by the electric jellyfish tendrils dangling from the dark pirate ship rafters.

The grunion run on the beach was the highlight of the night for me. It was soo awesome seeing that athletic, silvery fight for life as those brave little beings washed up on shore (right near the people gawking with flashlights, tho resepcting the safety tape keeping the fish safe from overexcited observers). Those little buggers got jiggy in their makeshift sand hotel, then the lady fish plowed down into the sand and laid her eggs before wiggling her tail and shooting straight up into the air to flop back to the receeding waterline. It was amazing! We felt so lucky that that the grunion run was happening the same night as GLOW! *Serendipity was truly in the air all night and magic around every corner.*

Running into friends all night and exclaiming about everything happening around us was also a big part of the organic unfolding evening. (texting was an easy way to hook up and communicate with friends. different ways to get up, down and around also helped to avoid the glut of people on the stairs.) Still, everyone was seemd so playful and fun all night, that even the crowds were not that bothersome- I liked seeing everyone out playing and discovering new things.

When we rode the carosel (again, free!!) accompanied by the haunted whale sounds & live ambient music taking shape by an onsight dj, the evening went to a new level. round and round, the lights twinkling overhead ina slow mo speed~ really dreamy and beautiful.

thirsty? no problem, charming happy girls were handing out free organic low-sugar teas to quench our pipes and to keep awake!

next stop, a ))fairy wing booth(( where gorgeous goddeses were helping new little fairies find their wings… gossamer-like, nylon-pleated, wing-shaped fabric attached to a costume-jeweled choker turned a casual passerby into an instant earth sprite! it was soo pretty!

all these ladies were softly flapping their wings to figure out how they worked, and within minutes were flying and dancing and smiling around the booth as a nearby ambient music sourced pumped soul beats into the night. men were stopped in their tracks. other girls looked on with round cheeks and shiny eyes. amazing.

such a generous festival– all this free, experential stuff to ignite the playful mischief maker and inventive sparkler within.

after that my friends and i found dozens of bikes that were just waiting to have all their bells rung in symphonic rhythm, and oh! more dancing happened in there sometime again as well. dancing near well put-together girls going crazy with nighttime glee as two topless men replete with tattoos and a pacifier showed off their glowstick routines.. it was sooo fun!! when the mignight madness 'crank mob' of cyclists stormed the festival and drew traffic to a halt (HUNDREDS of bikes!), we were so thrilled. it was really really amazing to see our streets and beach cliffs overrun with free spirits.

again, my night's success had a lot to do with my up for anything friends, the fact i did not for one second deal with cars or traffic and perhaps because i was sober. i was not thrown into whacked out energy orbits that were yes, streaming by in a million different frequencies in a million different directions.

i believe you pretty much get out of a/the night what you bring to it. and unusual art happenings and experential artistic gestures are totally up my alley. had i walked with my three friends to a 10 year anniversary party of the city's largest and most popular sports bar, my night would have probably been beached quite quickly.

GLOW wasn't probably for everyone.. but it was for me and a lot of the other happy revelers i interacted with from 10 pm-1:30 am. I can't speak of course for the hundreds that were still streaming in as i left!!

one of the other things i liked about GLOW was the preamble beforehand. EVERYONE was talking about it as something to check out: neighbors, friends, people in cafes. that electric air before the storm carnival atmosphere in santa monica was really refreshing.

oh yes, and the other major factor that was super duper about GLOW was that it was so racially diverse. new york people and burning man vibes in the santa monica landscape: HEAVEN!!

when i first heard of glow, i thought it was a makeup convention or the new mariah carey cd (seriously, the pink lowercase font confused me into thinking it was some kinda femmme-pop thing. but god bless make up and mariah, i just wouldn't make a whole night of either.)

thank goodness it turned out to be my absolute favorite night in santa monica in the 3.5 years i have lived here!

come back, glow, come back! i really hope you do.

I wrote that over breakfast

such a generous festival

and oh! more dancing

Hippie.

"Glow was glorious! I LOVED every single second of that fantastic evening. Here's my off the cuff breakdown on what i did, and why it was so cool:"

Oh, God, I fucking hated it. The art was lame at best (way to make those theramins sound like retarded whalesong, boys), the crowds were crushing, especially on the pier, the one thing that I was really excited about (the Ferris Wheel orchestra) was impossible to hear aside from the drums and the occasional trombonist. Everything was set up to have one or two people interacting with it at any given time (the cannons, the moon bounce thing where I watched two folks carted off by emergency ATVs). The Koi Parade looked like half-ass Burning Man rejects, and could barely get through the throngs without the ambulance in front of it clearing the way. The DJs were playing extended disco edits of schmaltzy Earth, Wind and Fire tracks…

fuck i cant go :(

and you won't be in ri this weekend :(

glow: i got up at 4:15 hoping to see steve roden at play at the carousel on the pier at 5:00 AM only to find out that it had been canceled along with all of the other carousel things that were supposed to start after midnight or something. i think they were trying to keep the crowds down on the beach. there was still a very diverse group of loaded young people running around and the police were well-behaved. the art did nothing for me. it's nice that they were able to do it but it wasn't my thing at all.

did this sell out yet

vice has "V.I.P." passes still if you call or e-mail (calling is better)... although -- get this -- they stand for "Vice In Privates". Damn Vice is hyowlarious.

i think vice jokes were old on friday, guys.

ugh

ok so this is sold out so what is the best way to sell my ticket now

We get Kid Millions = we win. (Seeing him at Terrastock made me an instant Oneida convert.)

Agreed. We also get Ryan from Paik.

and Sara from Unwound!

I'm looking forward to seeing this in Brooklyn. What I'm not looking forward to is running into every female I've ever had sex or gone on an awkward date with. Especially since I might go by myself. :[ my frineds are norms ::[

hey, me too, burt. we can meet up and i will be yr wingman for meeting more 'females' to have sex or go on awkward dates with. too bad it's not under a bridge again this year, huh.

patty schemel!

Did they have trouble figuring out the bands some of these people are in (Adam Autry)?

OMG LOL I DID NOT NOTICE KEVIN HASKINS WTF

Chris Millstein (Jah Division)

JOHN DWYER!!!!!!! wtf

why does the name Gabie Strong sound familiar? (she's drumming the L.A. one)

i was thinking the same about brian dwyer

anyone know how early people start showin up to get a good spot?

good question.

Also U+K, where does one get one fucking great pre-BOADRUM CHOWDOWN?

I'm going to get there between 5 and 6pm probably... will bring suntan lotion, bottled water, and something to cure the boredom (lol c wat I did dere)

not much is happening at hancock park proper, BUT I think if you walk west to Fairfax then walk south a few blocks, you end up on the one block of nothing but Ethopian restaurants, and I believe this is my first draft of a food plan. Merkato or what not.

where does one get one fucking great pre-BOADRUM CHOWDOWN?

This was being talked about elsewhere so we should codify here. I'll be heading up from OC with KUCI folks around 3 pm. Elvis T. mentioned a couple of reasonable enough spots nearby.

lol Aaron Sperske (Beachwood Sparks) lol

"That was a series of good drum breaks..."

-- remy bean, Monday, 4 August 2008 16:03 (3 hours ago)

why lol? dude is a monster drummer. check out Strictly Ballroom sometime for some early 90s HC.

ok, I saw Strictly Ballroom once at the Huntington Beach Library, and I kinda liked them in the same way I liked No Knife. But HC? Noooooo.

That said, I'm not doubting the drumming abilities of anyone who was in Beachwood Further Shadowland Sparks for Boadrum so whatevs

Aaron wasn't in Shadowland. That was Kevin who left to join Redd Kross.

well damn Kevin should boadrum

shit I cannot get there that early. i am too busy selling my labor power for money

shasta check e-mail (or ping mine if yours is untrue)

check out Strictly Ballroom

lol kxlu

Milty, ping pong.

why does the name Gabie Strong sound familiar? (she's drumming the L.A. one)

She's done a bunch of found/experimental sound installations/recordings with Ron Russell - I think a couple of them made it to one of the Ptolemaic Terrascope discs. She was also a member of DroneOn way back in the day.

Is there anywhere left to get a ticket? Are they doing any day-of "sales"?

i'll sell you 2

I just got my tickets in the mail. I was sweating a bit…

I could have sworn there was some note about breaking up lines until 8pm, but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

l.a. people are going to hate me for saying this probably, but as someone who has seen many shows in l.a., never underestimate the lack of organization and/or forethought into singular events in los angeles. that's not a dis. A little anarchy can be great, but it can also be annoying, and this is an element of entertainment that's been part of l.a. since forever.

I guess the anarchy would be fun if the people & culture hired to oversee events knew that things like this are odd events, but I'm betting -- especially with Nike at the $$$ helm -- that you're going to get generic Staff Pro Bros handling this event instead, thinking it's just like another rock show. That's the Hollywood way, typically.

But there are exceptions even in LA/Hollywood, and I hope this is one of them.

clusterfuck FTW

If anybody has 1 or 2 tickets they want to sell for the NY show, please let me know!

you're going to get generic Staff Pro Bros handling this event instead

I'll take pro anything over "oh I'm sure it'll work itself out when 5,000 extra people show up" or whatever

was glad to see it says SOLD OUT on brownpapertickets .... at least there was a cutoff

anyone know how many tix were given out for each show? I got my pair for NY in the mail last week.

wow, concerts in l.a. never sell out unless they're some kcrw bullshit. this is a good sign.

boredoms are sellouts

FUCK NIKE

Well, when tickets are free, that helps too, lol.

should have bought a canoe

lollers i left my boadrum ticket at home, thankfully before flying down. Will have to go home to get ticket during my lunch hour today. Good times.

The image of canoeing through the tar pits is wondrous.

"ow, stupid mammoth"

there aren't any mammoths there.

FUCK

Then why are we even going?

"Among the prehistoric species associated with the La Brea Tar Pits are mammoths, dire wolves, short-faced bears, ground sloths, and the state fossil of California, the saber-toothed cat" -wikipedia

fucka mammoth, i want some dire wolves

bummer jaxon, i will see you tonight though

Thank you for reserving a ticket to next month's BOREDOMS 88BOADRUM performance.

Your name has been added to the RSVP list for the event. HOWEVER, the RSVP response has been overwhelming - which means that we CANNOT guarantee admission, except on a first come-first served basis. We cannot overstate this: Not everyone will be allowed in.

The line will begin at the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax at 8:30pm. Please do NOT arrive before 8:30pm as the police stationed there will ask you to move along. Doors will open at 8:88pm. After we hit capacity, we can only admit you on a one-in, one-out basis.

PLEASE BE PREPARED TO WAIT, OR TO BE TURNED AWAY.

===========

Use of public transport is highly recommended. The closest MTA stops are York Street on the F train, Clark Street on the 2 and the 3 trains, and Cadman Plaza on the A and C trains.

Starting at 4pm will be DJ sets by Gang Gang Dance, and live performances from Soft Circle and Japanther (tentative). 88BOADRUM will begin at 8:88pm and end with the moon rise.

BOREDOMS request that you leave your cameras at home for 88BOADRUM. In their words, "We want people to remember in their mind, not in their camera." It's looking like it will be beautiful night so remember to bring moonscreen.

===========

Since you'll be in the neighborhood, it's worth mentioning that Nike and PowerHouse have a show opening the same day as 88BOADRUM, just around the corner. RE-RUN: A contemporary installation inspired by the renegade spirit and energy of running in the 1970s, including photographs, graphics and a series of specially-commission artworks.
The PowerHouse Arena
37 Main Street, Silverlake
Exhibition runs August 8 - 22, 2008, open to the public 12pm - 7pm daily.

===========

Also opening is The 5th Annual Vice Photo Show at the tempMOCA. Open daily Wednesday through Sunday from August 8th - August 9th. Copies of Vice Photo Issue available at tempMOCA for the duration of the show.

===========

After the performance you're invited to the official 88BOADRUM afterparty: Hayyyyyyyy at RAGE (West Hollywood). It's the HEALTH record release party with live performance from DJ Steve Aoki. $25

DJ Steve Aoki. $25 DJ Steve Aoki. $25 DJ Steve Aoki. $25 DJ Steve Aoki. $25

yeah but it's a live performance amon

I bought some new Dim Mak shirts for this event.

FOOD?

MERKATO?

FRIDAY AFTERNOON?

what's the deal w/ this?

are there any good places to eat near where the f train stops

General plan to hit Merkato for an early dinner sometime after 4 pm. Mackro is in for this. Anyone want to join us?

I'm probably looking to get there more at 4:30 but it will depend on traffic up; our group is leaving OC soon after 3 pm.

put me & @ndr3 down as a tentative yes.

Roxor. More tonight.

Please do NOT arrive before 8:30pm as the police stationed there will ask you to move along.

yeah this is going to work well with 5k people

Especially since the tickets say DOORS OPEN AT 5:00PM

Email Vice.

Email is too dime a dozen. I'm going to write Vice a polite and succinct letter.

live performance from DJ Pica Pica PicAoki. $25

Mista Shasta, where did you get that announcement?

I'd pay a dollar to twenty five people if they all went up to Aoki while Djing and asked for No Knife CDs.

So, wait, the performances of Gang Gang Dance start at 4:30, but no lines until 8:30, for a show that starts at 9:28?

WTF?

Also, it turns out that I have one extra ticket (though it's in my girlfriend's name). Transferable, you think? If so, anyone want it?

I'll take it

I emailed you thru the ilx system

So, wait, the performances of Gang Gang Dance start at 4:30, but no lines until 8:30, for a show that starts at 9:28?

The 8:30 bit seems to be referring to the LA show only.

wait but that makes no sense, especially since people need to get tickets?

also this:
. Commencing at precisely 8:08 PM PST the 88-minute experience at the historic La Brea Tar Pits will feature 88 drummers selected by Boredoms and 88BoaDrum artistic director, Hisham Bharoocha of Soft Circle [formerly of Lightening Bolt, Black Dice].

pick up tickets that is.

table, Steve is just doing that smug/self-amused/clever-not-smart NorCal thing having a laugh. To avoid being misled you might, among other things: 1) recognize that a) there is no such thing as 8:88 PM, and b) Silverlake is not around the corner from LACMA, 2) notice that he commingles NY and LA information, 3) be aware that the moon is rising these days in the middle of the afternoon rather than at night, 4) not concern yourself with anything he says

So doors are actually 8:30 for the L.A. show?

That looks to have been a fib, by a fibber. :-D

I stumbled across the Brooklyn rehearsal, and before my head hit the pavement I naturally managed to squeeze out a blog post with a couple pics:

Everything I've heard indicates doors are at 5 pm. But it sure would be nice if there was some actual straightforward information at either the Nike site or the La Brea site, wouldn't there.

It is looking mighty stormy in NYC right now -- I'm going home to get a raincoat after work.

getting to an 8 o clock show for 5:30 is the show equivalent of putting on pyjamas when you get home from work

Well hello traffic my old friend.

no

ok

admrl was going to walk there, of course

I did think about it

Friends of mine are heading over right about now to get some word on things, but they might not be there for another hour.

I was just there. It's been cancelled due to sunshine :( :( :(

Then you have to stand in and play all 88 drumkits yourself. Lazy man.

isn't this how that Volcano movie started

Nice drum circle. I'm sure the A team was better.

9:00 was a highlight.

Hipsters need to learn how to dance

I fell asleep and missed it.

http://www.gardsmusic.com/images/uploads/Prelude_TB701_Trombone.jpg

first half was dope

big trigger-pad hits with the stick --> groovy loud krauty part --> quieter bleepy electronic stuff --> big anthemic vangelis-y part --> middle eastern sounding gang gang dancey part and echoey horns

kinda lost me on the repetitions leading up to the big finale

also I felt like for a lot of it you could only hear the music from the stage, not the rest of the drummers

lololol @ Nike logo

it seemed like you could get your own shirt silkscreened if you wanted, or get one of theirs w/ the logo

the nike stuff was not in-your-face at all, there was barely any advertising at the park

nike was like chill about everything it's cool man

it was good of nike to put up the bucks for this. nuff respect.

And for all the (I think incredibly deserved) worries re: crowd control/rent-a-cop/general organization when it comes to LA things, everything went off without a hitch from what I could tell. Though I suppose they should have had more silkscreeners (but we all got ours done with half an hour to go before the start of the performance so hey).

It's not an office building it's a deep cryogenics processing facility

and frozen yogurt stop

and it looked pretty at night

and an L.A. Fitness!

as a native angeleno (/yelp), there are moments and settings that will make you forget you're in Fuckin LA and this was one of them

I like Fuckin LA

musically I felt the early 08 boredoms club shows were better but Boadrum is about spectacle gathering several povs numerology time and much more. I'd say this only compares to chatham or branca live, but boadrum was free and more kid friendly. Also drum armies are easier to grasp for most in a pop context than avant guitar armies, if that matters to you. Thank you boredoms, Nike, LACMA. Thank you LA Entertainment Machine for stepping off this time.

more kid friendly

get bent pointed out one small kid who was totally going crazy for it, and there were others around that seemed to be just as into the music. And why not?

but yeah ifya dug boadrum, try not to miss live chatham or branca live!!! (dsclsr: yeh yeh I was in a former. Me biased)

I meant latter oops

get bent pointed out one small kid who was totally going crazy for it, and there were others around that seemed to be just as into the music. And why not?

i think those kids are gonna turn out ok. sadly, i didn't see anyone dancing who was above the age of 3. the house strongly urged everyone to sit down during the set. i felt like i was in footloose -- all those drummers and the crowd can't do anything but watch, listen, quietly nod their heads.

9:00 seemed to be time for the ny kids to be taken home

there was an elderly Japanese gentleman who was dancing over by the Wilshire side of the crowd. He was totally into it and smiled at all the passerbys.

BTW Ian, the event was only right next to the JAPANESE PAVILLION OF LACAMA. But NYC would be better off without all those office buildings anyway.

Anyway being able to walk around was U & K. Lots of different acoustic spots to check.

Yeah, ML Compton mentioned doing that as well -- part of me wanted to but I was more intent on sitting and chilling...

a cute cat followed a. and me back to the car, literally. it was waiting by the car door, intent on coming home with us. we named it lacmakitty.

GOOD AMBIENCE OR SOMETHING:

i don't defend new york.
i didn't even go!

the one ian comes correct
the marketing was low key, the admission execution was better, but the whole thing was blahzay blahzay

best when you could just lay back on the lawn and listen. did i hear something from vcn in there?

did u cum yet?

aww u guys are so cool

luv u :D

Not to take away from last night because it was pretty amazing, but I saw Branca's 100 Guitars at Disney Concert Hall last year and it was one of the greatest things I've ever experienced. The sheer number of guitarists accomplished something that only 100 guitarists could. Last night didn't really need 88 drummers.

seeing chatham's 200 gtrs on friday so I will compare and contrast

Manuel Gottsching performs E2-E4 live in NYC Aug. 15th

god, LA is an ugly city.

Cool! Now that you've established that for yourself - you don't need to visit!

Gottsching I am definitely making it to. I hope it is good :{}

l.a. looks great and they make nice shoes

That was totally fucking sweet even though I didn't get together with any of the people who I knew who said they'd meet me there.

Though if Ned took those shots, I think he was about ten feet to the left of us.

It was not nearly as crowded as I feared, though I was annoyed at how many people came there and just wanted to chit chat through the whole fucking set, including one dude who had a volunteer badge and some chick who was up for a promotion and "Like, I totally deserve it." I felt like such an old man telling people to shut up, but Christ, during that tickety-tockety quiet bit, I wanted to hear the music, not the 15-year-old dollar-store Adrock behind me.

Ah, I'm a bit pissed that I missed this...but then I was one of the lucky few who actually made it into the one last year. I wonder if they'll do a 9/9/09 one? That'll fall on a Wednesday or something though.

Shit, they should just do a variation of this EVERY summer. But maybe that would get stale after a while. I dunno.

1010 drummers in 2010.

(And on second look, I think those pictures were actually taken from across from where we were.)

Though if Ned took those shots, I think he was about ten feet to the left of us.

Hahah! Well, I did in fact take those shots I posted, so there you go. (xpost) Although as you say maybe opposite -- were you facing Eye at all?

I just realized that the pics of the stage setup remind me of Close Encounters--they should do next year at Devil's Tower.

BoaDrum was very original. I had never heard the Boredoms but the music was much prettier than I expected and I got a sense of sonic waves.

It is still above me but I can imagine why people get so into it.

i am also going to murphy/mahoney/etc

i went to this and it was really poorly organized. the space was way too small for the number of ticketholders, thus packed crowds inside and long lines outside and not very much room to dance after 1am or so. the line was so long for the bar that it took over most of the dance floor. lincoln heights is a great area to hold a party like this, but next time they should take over a disused warehouse instead of a tiny studio.

xpost, true about the size of the space, but i liked the small sweaty atmosphere. there are better venues, but the sets kept me there til the party was over

Marty, that was very interesting music

does anyone have a boot of either performance yet?

xpost felicity - it is less music and more pure energy translated into sound!

Yes, I am starting to get what that means. Pretty cool.

77 boadrum doc on youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCyRal3bbJI

This reminds me that Nana (Boredoms manager's daughter & cover model for VCN) shown briefly @ 20min mark just launched this official store for you hardcore ボアダムス collectors.

https://boredomshop.thebase.in/

Now that it’s all said and done and there’s been some distance, I listen way way way more to the rock band version of bore more than the sun cult drums and guitar wall version.

Did this band change their name to an Ilx shibboleth after everyone learned that 88 was a Nazi shibboleth

Oh I guess I’m off base on what this is the name of or whatever

...

Oh man I couldn't get into 77 Boadrum so I had to watch from the Brooklyn Bridge. It still ruled

Sorry I just am worried about 88s usually

That 77 Boadrum show was so intense live, it's hard to explain! The first time they all did the improve freakout I had to try really hard to hold it together just watching from the side.

several of my friends played the 88 L.A. one ... they had section leaders and there was definitely a, uh, diverse range of aptitudes represented. My friend whose husband played got to meet Kevin Haskins from Bauhaus so that was cool.

It was cool. Still have the shirt!

Me too!
