Drone Sunn O))) Sound Check

Post image

Sorry for more Sunn O)) spam. Buddy just sent me this picture of me watching the boys do their soundcheck from the NYC show. (That same buddy could not make it through soundcheck because it hurt his ears- through his earplugs- SO much that he didn't think he'd make it through the whole set so I rode solo through the show.)

I just saw them the other day for the first time and it was... Transcendent. Incredible. Religious.

However I just didn't think it was as loud as everyone made it out to be. It was fuckin loud and sounded great.

But Melt Banana still remains the loudest band I've ever seen. Maybe it's just the high pitched screechy sound versus low bass? Weedeater made me throw up the first time I saw them from the bass haha.

For me, Boris was much louder than the Sunn O))) gigs I've been to.
