Yeah, I'm back. Battery died on the laptop last night which I took as my signal to go to bed.
They were amazing last night. I've never seen them play before, so I don't know if this is always the case, but they played on a round stage in the middle of the room with the audience all round them. The setup was three drum kits and Eye with keyboards (samplers?) and a thing set up behind him that was like seven 2-3 foot planks of wood strung with guitar strings, all differently tuned, which he struck with drumsticks. It was just an awesome non-stop percussion barrage - very very tribal, like some kind of a voodoo ceremony. Had a definite religious experience feeling to it - if Eye had asked me to sign up to the Church of Boredoms at the end I've been right up the front yelling "Halleluleah!".
So yeah, I love Boredoms and I want to see them play at every possible opportunity from now on.
