FORM Presents
Boris - performing ‘flood’ (Matinee Show)
+ Planning for Burial

With a rich and dynamic back catalogue to their name, there is plenty to choose from when it comes to showing off the extend of Boris’ talent and the depth of their musical prowess. Returning to Bristol on Saturday 10th October, Boris will perform two distinctly different shows at Strange Brew, their evening show is rooted in their PINK album, and the afternoon matinee show is focussed on their expansive and ambitious release, flood.

For over thirty years, Boris have been making considerable ripples in the world of heavy music. From their home country of Japan, into Europe and across the United States and further afield, Atsuo, Wata and Takeshi have made their presence felt. Boris move through different genre streams effortlessly; no two albums are the same. Whether they are embracing post-rock, drone, avant-garde, sludge or psychedelic rock, they approach each offering with absolute dedication and a commitment to experimentalism. The result is an eclectic discography that showcases the trio’s masterful abilities.

PINK is an album that opened them up to a whole new audience upon release in 2005 and gained them many accolades from fans and critics alike. Weaving increased melody into their fuzzy psych rock hit a certain sweet spot that has endured. Meanwhile, flood has gained an understated but steady following over the years - originally released at the turn of the century, this one track album was divided into four movements. Ambitious in scope, with drone and minimalism interspersed between their trademark heavy riffs, flood is a key part of the Boris archive.
