[ATTENDED: September 7, 2019] Boris
It was almost exactly two years ago that I first saw Boris. They had come out with a new record and were actually thinking of calling it quits. But they were inspired to do a tour, which I was sure was their last one, and it was spectacular.
Yet in the last two years they have signed to Third Man Records and have done a live session there. They are just about to release a two album set called Love Evol (technically Lφve Evφl) and reissue Feedbacker and Akuma No Uta. So when they announced that they were coming back–and coming to Jersey City–there was no way I could pass it up, even if it meant three concerts in three days.
Especially since the last time they played pretty much the whole new album, which was great, but I wanted to hear some older stuff too.
After the previous two nights of cutting it very close to the start of the show, I knew I wanted to get their early, in part because I had some merch to buy. I’ve gotten very frugal about buying merch and I often don’t buy anything. But Boris is a band that’s hard to find stuff here. And even though Third Man was reissuing records which would mean they are much easier to get, I wasn’t taking any chances . So I arrived plenty early, bought some vinyl (and now greatly regret not buying the Tears EP, which I somehow didn’t know about and now see that it is impossible to get anywhere else). (more…)
