Boris, Nothing [garage]
Ever stood over the Boris merch table? Looks like the 81 Tower Records that still remain in Japan. This turn, plunk down for the Heavy Rocks record, the Tokyo trio’s series of metallic bangers begun in 2002 and now rising once again with a leopard-print snarl. If punk grenade “My Name Is Blank,” detonating like the Stooges attempting Led Zeppelin’s “Communication Breakdown,” doesn’t sell this tour, the video will: drum deity Atsuo Mizuno menacing kabuki corpse paint, Takeshi Ohtani manhandling his double-neck blaster, and Wata (Mizuno Yoko) melting fans like sand since 1992 with her radioactive stare. Philly shoegazers Nothing open.
