They're a fantastic Japanese pop group who shout and make lots of noise...they're also probably the greatest live act I've ever seen. Go see them!

Do Not Miss The Boredoms. Do Not Miss The Boredoms. Do Not Miss The Boredoms. Do Not Miss The Boredoms. etc.

Music just won't sound quite the same after you've seen them..

Are they playing anywhere else?

Oh, and, er, as far as information on them goes, I think they've been around for a while, but I only know them from their last album VisionCreationNewSun - which sounds .. pretty much unlike anything else I've ever heard.. it's like, loads of psychedelic electronic noise, occasional tribal chanting and drums, drums, drums and more drums - it's absolutely amazing.
Live, they consisted of three(!!) drummers sitting in a circle, while a guy with dreads stood in the middle hammering electronic equipment and leaping in the air and generally going nuts - it was so amazing it made the album sound boring.

Yes, go, go go. Seen them twice and each time was very impressive. First time I saw them I came to the gig cold - never heard the band but knew the name, and that show still stands as one of the five best gigs I've ever seen. Next time was almost as good, and I got that one on video tape to relive the magic.

I'm very jealous.

Pin - I'm going to order my ticket now, and I may be able to swing us a place to stay too. But maybe not... we could always sleep on the beach, thus bringing all that Coney Island shit full circle.

Come on Brighton Lithers, you slags!

Expressionless. Can you give me an idea of how many of the So'ton lot might travel up with you to see this, as we have just one room available at our place (with means crash-space for about 3-4).

i saw the boredoms play one time in hoboken.
i had a headache at the time so i had to leave early.
fly pan am were opening for them, so i did an interview with them.

Yeh, but are you coming to this gig? Please? Oh ye of mix tape owing situation?

Seth

18:22 / 23.06.02

Tezcatlipoca: at the moment it's just me. I've tried to convert Southamptonites to the Boredoms, but everyone here is broke right now. I think Pin may be coming up, too. You working at the moment? I may well take some time off so I can spend a couple of days in Brighton, as I've never been before.

_pin

08:45 / 25.06.02

So this one blows. They're trying to make me work this day.

I'm gonna try and get it off tonite but I have already bought the ticket...

Poo!

Panic over! I, my under-haired head, my over-numb ass and as many copies of the sky is falling In as I can get in my bag will be there, in total and full attendence.
