My ears are ringing. I hope it's not permanent. Never happened to me before after a show but it's understandable.
Oren opened with a short Oren-style set but added some higher end noise in as well. Very nice.
Boris is just not for me. I think they're awful. (Aside from the "Psychedelic") Pop songs with drenching low end distortion.
SunnO))) was very good. Played a bit over an hour and the feedback didn't stop once. The drummer from Boris (or maybe it was the singer) played the gong and sang (screamed and mortified the crowd). He also crowded surfed for about a minute. Oren played in this as well. And there were two other dudes as well, one playing a Moog, and another playing bass along with O'Malley and Anderson on guitar. Some were drinking wine and threw it on the crowd at times. It's gotta be a lot of fun for these guys but I wonder how they aren't deaf yet.
You could hear bits of Black One in there, but for the most part it was improvised with O'Malley leading the way with body signals.
It was at an old church turned club called The Avalon in NYC, so that added to the creepy factor.
They wore robes and there was a smoke machine. There was also about 8 or 9 amps but not all were Sunn amps. Regardless, it was great.
Very very memorable show (hopefully not because I have hearing damage now) but I'm not sure if I'd see them again because it's a bit too extreme.

I saw them once for free and then just headed off after a while... Too loud. I like my Doom Metal, but that shit was just too loud and too monotonous at times.

sounds great and your ears will probably stop ringing in a day or two.

Probably just a reference to the actual Sunn amp brand? Someone probably used them while producing the music?
Or maybe the show is actually really indie, I dunno.
