BOREDOMS

Celebrating their 20th anniversary, the legendary Japanese avant-garde rock band Boredoms bring a visceral live experience to Aberdeen for the first time and Scotland for only the second. Comprised of three drummers and a keyboard-playing turntables-mashing vocalist, they have wowed audiences the world around for the best part of two decades, playing to sell-out crowds, garnering much critical acclaim and becoming firm favourites of Nirvana and Sonic Youth as well as performing regularly at the All Tomorrow's Parties festivals.* Boredoms' experiments in post-rock, kraut-rock and space-rock have led to them to being called "the most out-there band in the world", with their record Super Ae described as one of the best albums of the 90s by Pitchforkmedia.com. However, their live performances are where they truly shine - bringing their beautiful, melodic, sometimes tribal music to life on stage, with an absolutely unparalleled live show. Aberdeen, meet Osaka.

MICHAEL GIRA

Also on this superb double bill is Michael Gira - owner of Young God Records which spawned Devendra Banhart amongst many other luminaries. Michael also founded the influential Swans. Now armed with a sombre voice and an acoustic guitar, he makes bare and direct folk-tinged, song-based but still crucial music.

Very Very excited about this event, don't know much about Michael Gira apart from the Swans connection, but caught Boredoms @ Instal Festival about 4years ago. They played one of the most amazing live sets I have ever
seen.

This for the folk not going to Maxi's excellent night in Dundee

From The Guardian Newspaper GUIDE Sat 25th Aug 07

LISTINGS of, FILM, MUSIC, CLUBS, THEATRE, EXHIBTIONS, COMEDY, DANCE
& FAMILY

NO 1 listing for all the above genres of the Arts

*BOOK NOW...Having celebrated their their 20th anniversary last month, with a Brooklyn performance featuring 77Drummers, Japanoise avant garde band the Boredoms bring their unique brand of experimental sounds to the UK:

Academy Manchester 22/10..........
The Arches Glasgow 23/10...........
Lemon Tree Aberdeen 24/10.........
Shoreditch Town Hall London EC1 26/10......
Barfly Birmingham 27/10........
The Point Cardiff 30/10...........

Their London performance with Michael Gira is to celebrate 25years of THE WIRE magazine. It also so happens that the Boredoms & Michael Gira are the 1st two names listed in this months WIRE listing & advert for their esteemed celebrations.

This kinda shows the credo of The Boredoms & Michael Gira coming to play Aberdeen. Support the cause, pass the word, future ecelectic events of this stature can only happen in Aberdeen, if there's decent support for this one. Perhaps some of you who travelled up from the Dundee/Perth area for Faust,
Lightning Bolt etc etc will be interested in this.......

yes you are right, Yoshimi (of Flaming Lips) notoriety will be playing LIVE
& here is some more info:-

A first for Aberdeen: Japanese powerhouse the Boredoms play. For over 14 years, the Boredoms have been pummelling the minds and ears of unsuspecting listeners with their blend of noise and psychedelia and they’ve achieved a certain cult status amongst an international audience on the basis of their prolific record releases and near-legendary gigs. Having been championed by Nirvana and Sonic Youth amongst many others, the Boredoms were originally grouped with the emerging No Wave Japanese noise artists of the late 1980s and early ‘90s, but have now moved toward more interesting and melodic musical territory in recent years, maintaining a delicate balance between precise time changes and complex instrumentation while keeping a loose and improvised feel.

However for many the allure of the Boredoms lies not in their recorded music but in the perfect spectacle of their live performances, which manage to transcend genres and people’s personal music taste and have wowed audiences the world over. Their live show consists of a singer and three drummers (one of whom, Yoshimi, is the very same Yoshimi immortalised by the Flaming Lips), borders on performance art and is genuinely, astonishingly good as well as being insanely good fun. The performance will be filmed and projected from onstage.

“I’ve not seen a better live band these past few years; phantasmagorically brilliant” Uncut magazine

“A beautiful, rhythmic gallop of harmonic singing, freeform piano, chaotic harp and some of the most insane drumming you will ever hear in your life.” Billboard

“On occasion, when asked, I’ve been known to tell people Boredoms are the best rock band ever." Pitchfork

TWO HOUR SET by Boredoms

tickets will be available on the door for all those wanting to turn up
on the night. It would be fantastic to think Boredoms/Gira would sell-out
the LT but that won't happen, although advance ticket sales are doing very well
If you can, try make a special effort on this one.....Boredoms were
wonderful on their only other visit to Scotland @ INSTAL 03.
