The Japanese band BORIS are a scene unto themselves and have always focused on forging their own unique path. Since 1996, this band has had the world listening as they have sonically shape-shifted with almost every release. This year, BORIS is headlining the Austin Psych Fest in late April, but it’s their residence dates that have really gotten me excited (check out the details & dates after the jump). Today CVLT Nation salutes BORIS with a huge video essay…Make sure to see them on this very special tour! Pick up the heavy rocks after the fall!
The residency tour, billed as “from the past, the present and through to the future” features Boris playing 2 consecutive nights in each city. For the first night, the band will perform its all-time classics along with many new songs never before played in the US. The second night’s set features most of Boris’ cult classic album Flood along with a noise/drone/experimental set. Please see all current dates below.
