Wondering what a show with Boris and Sunn 0))) would be like?

This recap from Swanfungus is absolutely hilarious. Boris (whose album Pink is making an early run on InMyTree's best of 2006) and Sunn 0))) played the Avalon in NYC last night and here is an excerpt:

It was a sheet of noise that continually knocked us backwards. The stage was littered with two rows of 4x12 cabinets. boris' guitar/bassist guy played through a sunn model-t with an 8x12 sunn cab, PLUS an ampeg 8x10 cab. the female boris guitarist played through an orange amp with two 4x12 orange cabinets. the drummer's set wasn't even mic'd, he was just that loud and fierce.

sunn o))) had four guitarists (including opening act oren ambarchi as guest guitarist), a moog player, a bassist, and boris' drummer invoking the spirit of the gong. the stage was literally a wall of amplifiers stacked about as high as the second tier of the club. just volume, volume, volume. so disgustingly good. oh yeah, and the druid costumes were hilarious...but kinda in a sad way. also, an hour of sunn 0))) is about a half-hour too much sunn o))).

You can find pics on the site too. Also, from BV, Boris is playing a free show tonight in NYC.

If that's not enough, the two Southern Lord bands are releasing an album together called Alter in October.
