JOIN US AS WE TAKE A BRISK JOG DOWN MEMORY LANE TO THE SUMMER OF 2007
It was a heady time for America; the economy was doing something, the kids were jamming to some new band or another, and the popularity of bum bums continued to soar unabated.
In the midst of this turmoil, god-like Japanese musical experimenters the Boredoms embarked on a project of unprecedented scale: 77 drummers playing for 77 minutes starting at 7 PM on 7/7/07, accompanied solely by EYE on a custom-built guitar gong and the sound of 8,000+ eyeballs not blinking.
The world's most numerologically significant all-drum concert, a ten part documentary with new episode every day this week. Part 1 - 4 are now live.

VICE RECORDS TO RELEASE JAPANESE MOTORS DEBUT ALBUM!
Japanese Motors are the most exciting band to emerge from Orange County since the heyday of Social Distortion and TSOL. Hailing from Costa Mesa and comprised of RVCA pro-surfer and singer Alex Knost, guitarist Nolan Hall, bassist Chris Vail, and drummer Andrew Atkinson, the band is known around Southern California for the insane, all-night blowouts they put on as much as for the driving, raucous garage pop they set the partying to.
Rather than fight the influence of their surroundings like so many of their So Cal contemporaries, Japanese Motors have channeled it into their music, making tunes every bit as sun-baked and laid-back as their coastal environs and rife with positive imagery. "Most bands from here are trying to sound like they're from London or New York," Nolan says. "We embrace where we're from." In return for their local pride, the Southern Californian surf community has embraced them right back. Japanese Motors are part of RVCA's Artist Network Program and fellow surfers Emmett and Brendan Malloy (who made three White Stripes videos) directed the video for the band's first single "Single Fins & Safety Pins."
On August 19th, Vice Records will release this single, "Single Fins & Safety Pins," which contains the album version and a radio edit of the song, as well as b-side "Coors Lite," another track from their upcoming self-titled full length debut, due in October 2008. Japanese Motors hit the road in August, starting off in NYC, winding their way down the East Coast before heading back home to play with the Black Lips and at LA's Detour Fest (see full list of dates below).
