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

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

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

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.

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.

kurt schwitterz, Friday, 12 March 2021 23:45 (three years ago) link

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

Canon in Deez (silby), Friday, 12 March 2021 23:52 (three years ago) link

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

J. Sam, Saturday, 13 March 2021 00:09 (three years ago) link

Sorry I just am worried about 88s usually

Canon in Deez (silby), Saturday, 13 March 2021 00:13 (three years ago) link

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.

sarahell, Saturday, 13 March 2021 00:25 (three years ago) link

It was cool. Still have the shirt!

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 March 2021 00:32 (three years ago) link

Me too!
