Drummers for Boredoms' 88 BoaDrum Revealed

Featuring members of Animal Collective, Modest Mouse, TV on the Radio, Man Man, High Places, Unwound, !!!, Hole, Metric

It's gonna take a whole lotta drummers--88 of 'em on each coast!--to fully achieve the epic sonic assault the Boredoms are bringing in the form of 88BoaDrum. The bi-coastal, Nike Sportswear-sponsored event, which goes down August 8 at L.A.'s La Brea Tar Pits and the Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn, recently unleashed an almost complete list of the 88 drummers who will make up either event. It, too, is quite a sight to behold.

So who's on board with this BoaDrum? Well, in L.A., there's Joe Plummer of Modest Mouse, Zach Hill of Hella, Man Man and Icy Demon Christopher Powell, Rob Barber of High Places, Mika Miko's Katelyn Hall, Sara Lund from Unwound, Patty Schemel from Hole, peeps from Oneida, Jawbreaker, We Are Scientists, Tussle, Pit Er Pat, Crystal Antlers, Erase Errata, and naturally, many, many others. That event's being overseen by the Boredoms and Hisham Bharoocha of Soft Circle, all of whom will take their spots behind the trapset under the ever-watchful Eye.

Brooklyn's affair-- coordinated by Gang Gang Dance-- gets both Panda Bear and Geologist of Animal Collective, Jaleel Bunton of TV on the Radio, Matt Sweeney of Chavez/Superwolf/Neil Diamond, members of Metric, Excepter, Parts and Labor, Spank Rock, Celebration, and like, way more other people than we could possibly pick out by name. The Brooklyn drummer list still has one drummer TBA. I can just see the message board chatter now: Where's the Spunt, man? Where's the freakin' Saunier?

No big surprise this close to the actual BoaDrum event, but all the free tickets for either event are currently "sold" out. If you missed the boat, I reckon there's always September 9th of next year. At least, that is my hope.
