BOREDOMS (London Barbican, 27/06/15)



DID YOU KNOW: sitting a few feet from 88 people hammering cymbals in unison may be something you may want experience with earplugs wedged firmly in your earholes? In truth, this wasn't the greatest Boredoms show I've ever seen- it was overlong at 140 minutes, and cymbals are pretty limited as an instrument even in that sort of quantity, but goddamn, when it was good, it was truly transcendent. Particularly enjoyed the bit when it all went a bit Geinoh Yamashirogumi in the middle. DOOM! DOOM! DOOM!
