Osaka's Boredoms have detailed their upcoming 77BOADRUM performance in New York City. The special show will feature 77 full 5 piece, 3 cymbal drum kits arranged in a spiral pattern. The Boredoms' four kits will be surrounded by 74 additional drummers, 10 of whom will serve as leaders to queue the rest. The volunteer army of musicians were selected by event music director Hisham Bharoocha to represent many of the best players in New York City's avant/experimental underground.
The ensemble will include Hugo Burnham of Gang of Four, Tim Dewit and Lizzi Bougatsos of Gang Gang Dance, Andrew W.K., David Grubbs, Hart Mingus of Negative Approach, Matthias Schulz of Holy Fuck, and members of Aa, Crash Worship, God Is My Co-Pilot, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Oneida, Excepter, Antietam, Dymaxion, Panthers, and many others.
77BOADRUM is the Boredoms' final North American date on their current tour. The band will hit Europe in August. The long-running band released Seadrum/House of Sun via Vice in 2005.
