OM And Boris Play Free Live Show In SF This Sunday

October 12th, 2007

Residents and visitors of the Haight/Golden Gate Park area of SF should make some effort to secure fragile objects and batten down what needs secured this Sunday, October 14th. I don’t anticipate an earthquake, although that is always a possibility, but I do anticipate some serious seismic activity in that neighborhood on that day. See, I just got word that OM and Boris will both be performing live, for FREE, at the Amoeba Records at the tip of upper Haight Street. This is a monumental event, even by Amoeba’s free shows standards. Never before have 2 bands of such heavy sonic history played in-store on the very same day. I can’t wait! Finally a great reason to be in SF instead of London or NYC…

For those of you who make it over there to see Boris and OM, you not only get an amazing live experience for FREE, but you also get a bunch of free goodies with every purchase of a Boris or OM album on Southern Lord Records and a chance to win a OM/Boris prize package! Southern Lord says:

To make things even sweeter, each purchase of a Boris Southern Lord release or the new OM album on Southern Lord will come with a special limited edition silk-screened poster of the event and a FREE Southern Lord label compilation sampler! There will also be a raffle to win a special Boris-Om-Southern Lord label prize package.

I can vouch for the sampler, I got one at the Earth/Sunn O))) show last month. It features 11 tracks total with a song each from Boris, Oren, Earth, Wolves In The Throne Room, Burning Witch, Leviathan, Striborg, The Hidden Hand and more.

These times are subject to change, so maybe check with Amoeba on the day of:
BORIS (3PM)
OM (5PM)

Amoeba Records
1855 Haight St.
SF, CA.

Boris will be touring all over the US during October. On the same night as this show at Amoeba, they will be playing at The Independent in SF with Michio Kurihara + Damon and Naomi.
