Boris will play with the band that inspired its name, Melvins, at the Howard Theatre on Friday, Sept. 22.
“It’s quite an honor,” according to Boris drummer Atsuo, who like guitarist-bassist Takeshi and guitarist-keyboardist Wata uses only his given name. “When Boris first started out, they were our biggest influence. To think that we’re touring the U.S. together, it’s an unbelievable thing.”
Atsuo made his comments by email through a translator to avoid any stumbling over language barriers. Although the band often uses English in its lyrics and song titles, the words Takeshi and Atsuo include when they write songs are always ones that have been assimilated into everyday Japanese, Atsuo explained. “We use a lot of words like that. That said, you could say our lyrics are almost entirely written in Japanese.
The band’s various styles are linked by a common compositional approach, rooted in jam sessions and a reliance on electronic timbres and textures. “Effects pedals themselves can yield songs,” Atsuo said before turning mystical. “Without the feedback produced by the mega-volume of our amps, we could not be connected to this world.”
With three new albums, the band has plenty of fresh material. But this tour won’t feature any of it. Instead, the concerts highlight the first U.S. release of a 2002 record, one of three the band has released with the same title, “Heavy Rocks.” Long available as an import only, the album has just been issued stateside by Jack White’s Third Man Records.To celebrate, Atsuo said, Boris proposed playing a few joint shows with Melvins to that band’s singer-guitarist, Buzz Osborne.
