I saw them back in January last and they were amazing, of course. They're still playing really great sets of plenty plenty plenty of old and a couple of new songs. And, as always, EARPLUGS.

just got back...fucking awesome. 2 sets...lots of old songs, some obliterati and OnOffOn songs, and 3, what they called "world premiere" songs, haha...oh yeah, all 3 of those were sick too. they didnt give names for any of the new songs, but the first was really spacy and trippy, esp for burma. the other 2 i remember were a lot heavier. millers got a great fuzz pedal and ive never heard a tremolo sound as great as his did tonite. i got a bunch of pics ill post below. fucking awesome to hear Dirt and thats how i escaped my certain fate, i love those 2 songs. i also got a good video of Trem Two ill have up on youtube soon, ill psot the link here when its up. cool to here you are going to the northampton show, i may take the hour drive up....taping too huh? ill need a copy of that, if you please....
i have no idea what the setlist was...i remember certain fate, mica, trem two, dirt, donna sumaria, they kicked out hendrix's spanish castle magic, academy, lots more, im too stoned to remember them, haha, maybe someone else willl

Jealous. I've never had the opportunity to see Burma, and they're one of my favorites. Nice pics, by the way. Clint looks like he needs some anti-perspirant like now.

saw Burma again last night in Northampton, another great show, even better than the Toads show the night before. setlist was pretty similar from what i remember, they even play The Setup which is such a great live song, so energetic and explosive, i love it..i actually found this article written by burma guitarist roger miller about his fuzz box and tremolo, pretty interesting story, its below...
hopin dazed was there to tape that greatness.... Vacu-Fuzz and Vacu-Trem
I have always been involved with fuzztones (brother Ben Miller used an "Arbiter Fuzz-face", the type Hendrix used, in Sproton Layer). When I came to Boston, I had an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi unit. It broke, and when I tried to buy a new one I found that they had altered the components: now when you hit the pedal, the volume dropped. I was at a loss in early Burma. Lou Giordano was a big fan from early on (I believe it is his semi-afro-haired sillouette on the back of the Acad/Max single). He was in an MIT band called The Vacuum Heads (no air-heads in that band). They were so-so, but we all liked Lou's attitude. (He later produced the TAANG! tapes for release, and is a well-known producer: LIVE, Bob Mould, Fiona Apple, etc.) When he heard what I was looking for, he delved into his MIT electronic engineering chops and took apart a Big Muff Pi. He then proceeded to hyperize every component and enclose it in a metal box that could withstand a direct hit from a bomb. (Big Muff on steroids). It was, and still is, an amazing box. Smooth, yet producing exquisite feedback when wanted. Tremelo units have always been less required: I'd used them off and on in bands I was in for their shimmering quality. My Peavey Amplifier had built in tremelo, and early on Clint wrote "Tremelo", thereby making a tremelo effect mandatory (we couldn't do the song without it's pulse). When the Peavey amp mercifully died, I chose a 50 watt Marshall amp - which had no tremelo. Again, Lou Giordano to the rescue. In the same type of "hit me with a bomb, I couldn't care less" metal box, he built a hyper tremelo unit. The two parameters, speed and intensity, were both maxed out. My later song, "Trem II", was at a slow speed setting w/the intensity on full (becoming a strong on/off pulse). Lou had maxed the speed and intensity so far out that at levels of "11" or higher, it sounds as if 3 or 4 chords are piled on top of each other about 1/16 step apart. Possibly used that effect on "Sing Along." In early 1990 I asked Bob Weston to modify the unit: he altered a foot pedal to function as a speed control. It is difficult to deal with live (I'd rather run around), but it has interesting potential in a studio setting.
It is worth noting that, in keeping with a certain post-punk minimalism, both these effects only modify gain structure: tremelo turns volume off and on, and distortion unit piles one gain on top of another gain. (RM)

They're playing in the UK in November. There are tickets on sale for dates in Bristol and Glasgow, with three or four days between the two. Hopefully a London date will get slotted into those few days.
