I like Boredoms. The legendary Japanese noise rock band has been going strong since the 1980s, touring with Sonic Youth, recording a serious number of releases, and basically becoming a byword for coolness for record geeks around the world. So it was with pleasant interest when I discovered the band’s Super Roots 10 EP was going to be released outside of Japan via Thrill Jockey. This most recent offering in the Super Roots series came out early this year in Japan and is slated for a September 8 non-Japan release on limited double vinyl, designed and produced by vocalist Eye.
This is great on its own, right? But wait, there's more! How about the news that Boredoms will finally be putting out a new full-length next year? Or what about the sure-to-be MIND-BLOWING show on a Russian ferry off the coast of Japan (TMT News)? Oh, and don't forget that Boredoms are also performing Boadrum 9 at New York City's Terminal 5, and again at the American version of All Tomorrow’s Parties. No boat at those dates, though, alas.
