Thank god they finally cofirmed this thing:

You going to try out for it shaders?

[shade]

laugh out loud, I'm not even going to it. Hopefully someone records.

 

 

Edit: though I am seeing the boredoms in toronto. Only with their three drummers though.

 

 

For those who know The Flaming Lips...they based a entire album on Yoshimi from the boredoms (who guest stars on it).

they had to get members and friends of Modest Mouse, Lightning Bolt, Man Man, Gang Gang Dance, Soft Circle, Oneida, Excepter, Aa, Blood on the Wall, Pit Er Pat, Unwound, Enon, Arbouretum, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Sightings, White Magic, No Neck Blues Band, Panthers, Celebration, Negative Approach, Tall Firs, and others, turning this into a veritable Traveling Wilburys of avant-garde percussion.

 

Something tells me, despite the 76 other maniacs pounding around him, Andrew W.K. will come through loud and clear. From note one. Something also tells me an enterprising production company could turn this into one of the cooler live albums/DVDs we'll see in a while.

 

 

 

 

If I had cash I would be driving to NY

I wish I knew who more of those bands were. But sounds like a great time anyway.

holy poop, that sounds awesome

[Shiri]

Sounds like good live DVD material.

Seeing the boredoms on their own...just three drummers and a vocalist was out of this world.

 

 

This band is impossibly underrated.

There are tons of great videos kicking around:
