I've been meaning to pick that album off for the last couple weeks. That opening track is fantastic.

The first track off of the new Trampled by Turtles album is pretty damn good. I haven't had a chance to listen to the rest of the album yet but I'll be checking it out soon.

I've probably seen 300 shows in my life and Boris blew them all away tonight.

I also love that Tove Lo song... check out Astr - Operate. Maybe not all that similar, but that's one of my jams this summer.

Loving on FKA Twigs as well. I thought her first 2 EP's were solid, but the album is very good.

I saw them in 2008 with Nachmystium and Torche respectively doing their own sets at the same venue. It was the 'Smile' tour. Wolves in the Throne Room was originally the band opening the show but cancelled (

). I had really wished that WITTR would've been there, rather than Nachmystium but oh well.

I can definitely say that Boris played an awesome show (especially by Wata / Atsuo) and the experience blew me away at the time. I would've loved to have gone last night but I couldn't.

Of separate note [not necessarily directed at you TroyD92] this video of Mary Halvorson opening for King Buzzo on his solo tour last month in Baltimore is really nice. Ackypoo's avatar reminded me of these:

The experience absolutely blew me away. I've seen Torche, Lightning Bolt and bands like those and it still wasn't comparable to me.

I've never seen Lightning Bolt in person but I don't think I'd ever compare that kind of show to Boris. And watching Torche play just before Boris, I can certainly say that they're completely different bands. Boris brings together prog, noise, improvisation and a wide range of metal; neither of those bands has does everything that they do.

They're intense (Boris), so I get where you're coming from and I suppose that the other two bands are high energy bands but they just don't compare.

I'd compare the experience of a Boris show more with those that I've seen such as Dinosaur Jr. (Farm tour in 09), Nels Cline & Glenn Kotche (06), Sonic Youth (06, 07, 09) and Kayo Dot (January) than I would with Torche (although they gigged together, have been label mates, etc.). Even though 3/4 weren't really metal related.

Although I once saw Northless (local drone metal band) play at mostly lame festival at the Mirimar Theatre in 2010 and I'd never heard them prior to that. Maybe I was just so blown away by them because I didn't anticipate witnessing a band of their kind that night but they just played a great show.

Afterward I'd bumped into one of the band members and made a point to ask him if he or anyone in Northless had ever listened to the band Krallice. As I was really getting into them at the time and the intensity of their playing reminded me of those records, even though they didn't quite sound alike.

What's great about me asking that is I had no idea they would go on to get their LPs pressed by the same Wisconsin company that does Krallice's (an NY based band btw) records: Gilead Media. And he didn't really seem to have actually listened to Krallice much, just said that he knew about them.

https://soundcloud.com/flenserrecords/s ... t-vi-flora

I love the sound of this band. I just found out about the label & band a few weeks ago, after Kayo Dot had gone with the label to release their next record. The artist, Botanist is a drummer that uses amplified hammered dulcimers as his main melodic instrument. The other Botanist records are some that I'd definitely like to buy in the near future but I'll start with the latest one 'VI: Flora' and go from there.

TroyD92 · Post #399 » by **TroyD92** » Wed Aug 13, 2014 3:47 am

I was gearing more towards the experience. Not comparing them musically. Torche/LB/Boris all just kinda left me like WTF just happened lol.
