This year Boris are doing a look back at the Pink album on it's 20th anniversary.  Last year it was Amplifier Worship.  They have such a massive discography they could pay tribute to many things, but Pink is one of their core releases to the point that Relapse has issued a new live release of it.  There really isn't much else to say about this sonic wall.  Maybe I said it last year.  The encore was "Drone."  That sort of sums it up.

Opening were Uniform, who I also saw last year in a headlining capacity.  American Standard is still their latest.  There were still the same hyperactive grunts and howls from the frontman.  The wrinkle was using a stagelight to punctuate yelling only for the silence to be punctured by an audience member yelling what I thought was "I'm Fucking Gay!" to which Michael Berdan the vocalist broke performance and asked what was wrong with that?  Then called for the audience member to be tossed.  I didn't know if the audience member was making a proclamation or beratement.  It didn't matter.  Get him up against the wall!

New rules for a new age.

That conversation was miraculously remembered over half a year later.   Another friend of mine had RSVP's for the free Tuesday Night Series at Union Pool passed on to me that proved to be useless since they don't guarantee entrance.  Fortunately, I got there early enough that I was 3rd to last to secure entry.  For future lines there, if it...
