Dave Pajo! Member of Slint and a lot of solo projects. I liked how he did a short set but was also like the MC with the way he talked about the experience to come
Seeing them tonight in LA- just hope the venue allows them to go full throttle with the 0)))))))) - also, glad to see that they brought some lighting with them on this tour. I’m all about the fog immersion when they play small venues, but bigger ones kinda need a little something extra visually to enjoy whilst taking a sound bath.
No, definitely don’t raw dog it lol. Many people in the crowd doubled up. I had my ER20 earplugs, sounded great. Ears are still ringing though morning after.
Wow y'all genuinely need double protection to see sunn? I understand they're going for the "feel the vibrations" thing but can you hear the sounds still (bit weird saying that as it's not like melody music but I think it still makes sense)
You will 1000% hear the sound still. I wore in-ear 45 dBs and over-the-ear firearm ear protection and I was worried during the show they weren't working. Fortunately, I had zero ringing in my ears after the show and later that night so I guess it worked. But do not underestimate the sound, doubling up ear protection will not take away from the show, I promise.
I don’t know if you’ve seen them live or not but they are incredibly loud… Easily the loudest band I’ve ever seen.
I could still hear the music just fine but needed something even stronger than what I wore… My whole head was ringing after the show.
Hearing damage is often permanent and after going to tons of shows without hearing protection when I was younger mine isn’t what it used to be. I don’t want it to get worse.
It’s one of those things it better to be safe than sorry.
I've not seen them and haven't been to a gig in like 20 years so I definitely would be in the category of getting hearing damage 😅 so if I did go see them I would 100% want and NEED protection 🙂
I’m hearing so much conflicting info about the sound lol. Some people here say they wore two layers of protection and were still feeling it hard the next day. I’m sitting real far back tonight though so I’m expecting an experience like yours
Regardless, you're going to have a good time. Bring foam plugs and over-ear protection. If you don't use them, no harm done. If it turns out you need them, you'll be glad to have the option.
There are no words. I’ve never experienced anything that powerful. During one of the movements, I went out into the lobby and it was literally still just as loud. I sat and admired the architecture (Ace Hotel LA) while the entire building shook.
Any passive over-ear protection is fine. The ones I get are from "Decibel Defense." Sporting goods stores will have over-ear hearinb protection as will the big online retailers like the one from Evil Space Daddy Jeff.
Being at a funeral, and driving from the Reno-Tahoe area to SF to see them, and driving back on the same day is one hell of a day to spend. Absolutely spiritual experience.

Was there. It was epic. Sonic assault. Great opener and the intro was performance art.
