It’s been 13 years since the Japanese band Boredoms hit Seattle.
Back then, they were a spastic noise act deconstructing punk
rock by way of John Zorn. They’ve since transformed into
sun-worshipping futurist hippies alternately known as
V∞redoms. Recent works, such as the 77-drummer performance piece
BOADRUM and a new live recording, tip their precarious balance
of percussive jams and space noise further into the dangerous
drum-circle hole. Still, Boredoms are a comet that passes only
so many times in one’s life. You can’t afford to miss it. (Neumo’s,
