Boris will crush you. every last bit of you, pummeled to sub-atomic material. for some reason, if this band (two guys and a lady) were from, say, dubuque iowa, they wouldn't nearly be as effective. reverse racism, you say, because they are japanese? perhaps. there is something about their mystique and overall heaviosity which complements their eastern demeanor. three white guys just wouldn't have the same appeal.

enough about their origins, let's talk music. they can range from eerie drones to megalithic stomps, rumbling the air and earth as they cut a swath. the fact that the guitarist looks so serene, like she's raking patterns in a zen sand garden, while spilling out malefic guitar bombs all over the place seals the deal. go see 'em, but for god's sake, bring ear plugs or you will be enlisting in the next sign language class you can find.

A little too grating for me. I prefer a discernible melody and intelligible lyrics in my music. The guitarist is smokin though!!

You picked one of their more tame songs! They can get crazy and their guitar work is great.

I am currently trying to aquire some more of this Boris creature. But apparently data transfer all the way from the Land of the Rising Sun is cumbersome, at best.

EDIT: Seriously, who do I have to kill to get the :thumb: :stupid: and :stosh: smileys back?

Besides the sonic massage I received, the enthusiasm of the drummer at their live show was impressive.

'starred in' would imply that i don t do them anymore................

i invented the genre...

so you prefer women with the body of 14 year old boys*, i like vintage musical equipment... big deal :)


*major generalization... some asian women have curves - some...

Like you, normally asian women give me the soft one. I made an exception for my friend who looks like the Boris guitarist though. Different, but good. Therefore change every once in a while is good :D

The resemblance is so close it is scary in a way.
