On July 7th, 2007 at 7:07pm, 77 drummers descended on Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park in Brooklyn for a once-in-a-lifetime performance. Orchestrated by legendary Japanese psychedelic outfit, Boredoms (or V∞OREDOMS if you’re nasty), the concert featured a staggering collection of artists and musicians playing in perfect percussive unison, including David Grubbs (Gastr Del Sol), Lizzi Bougatsos (Gang Gang Dance), Brian Chippendale (Lighting Bolt), Sara Lund (Unwound), Kid Millions (Oneida), Allison Busch (Awesome Color), and Andrew W.K. (partying, etc.)
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the event, Spectacle and Thrill Jockey are proud to present screenings of filmmaker Jun Kawaguchi’s 2010 documentary of the concert throughout the month of July.
