I removed something involving their preference of the term "folk music". While it's completely possible due to their "weirdness", I have never heard of them calling themselves that. Didnt mean to insult anyone, but please provide proof. --Jared 16:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Where did all those related groups come from? What do they all have in common? --Ardonik 08:22, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)
I'm not sure of all of them, but most of them are bands that various members of the Boredoms took part in or founded. A few: Hantarash-Noise group founded in the 80s by Yamataka (then Yamatsuka, don't ask me about the name changes, Eye) Z-Rock Hawaii-A compilation between Ween and Yamataka Eye. the CD is highly recommended and very funny. OOIOO-A band founded by the sexy Yoshimi from the Boredoms (she sings in OOIOO). UFO Or Die - Noise-Rock group consisting of Yamataka Eye, Yoshimi, and some guy.
Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, but most of the Boredoms members have been in the noise/noise-rock scene for a very long time and have contributed a lot to the scene. Idolcrash 05:45, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I don't know if all the bands are really related to the Boredoms but most links need to be fixed becuase they redirect to anything but a band. Eraserhead 20:09, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Their name might not include 'The', but that doesn't mean the word is improper to use in front of their name. A member of the IWW was a Wobbly, multiple members were Wobblies, and yet one would say "The Wobblies were members of the IWW"
Also, I believe on some of their albums (I'd have to pull them out) they are listed as The Boredoms.
There's a picture on the cover of Japanese Homegrown Vol. 2, a compilation by Gianormous Records, that may well be of the Hanatarash bulldozer incident. See Crappy little Amazon rendering of compilation's cover. --erisdiscordia (a guest)
[edit] Current Activities
Based on the news of www.tinymixtapes.com it seems that the Boredoms (Vooredoms) are working on a 6 disc box set. I have not been able to confirm this anywhere else, nor is there news on what this box set will contain. But this might be relevant in the current activities section, or possibly elsewhere. I am not well versed in wikipedia protocal.
Here's my resource. TinyMixTapes Boredoms Article
[edit] Article stuff
I added an info box, a section describing the band's history, and I split the discography off into its own article, as well as reformating the article slightly, and deleting some info about Eye's personal history. Sources are still needed, if anyone has any, and if anyone finds any flaws with my write up of the band's history please correct it. Also does anyone have an actual picture of the band that could be used in this article? - Fishmonk 29, October, 2006
– Dude, that was a zany amount of editing. Do you have a ref for the original name of the band? - Jonathan Williams 00:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- It is mentioned in a few disographies I have seen. But my source is an interview with eye from a old zine called "Show-Kai" all the way back from 1990 where eye talks about the band's early history. The magazine covered mostly japanese rock, and was published in the usa. I don't know if it still exists anymore though. - Fishmonk 01 November 2006 - The name of the compilation "U.S.A" is on is "Kill S.P.K." released by the Japanese label Beast 666 (http://www.777was666.com/666.html) The german label Dossier released the song on their "Dead Tech Sampler I: No Wave from Japan" LP as well. - Fishmonk
