Japanese noise masters Boredoms have gone increasingly rhythm-mad over the years, developing a hypnotic, drum-centric sound. This summer they will push things to the limit with performances of the oft-postponed "77 Drum" in Brooklyn, Canada and Europe.

According to Pitchfork, there will be a need for volunteer drummers for the Brooklyn show:

Interested drummers should contact Hisham Bharoocha (currently of Soft Circle and formerly of Lightning Bolt and Black Dice) at [e-mail address retracted at Bharoocha's request] for more information. Former Minuteman/current Stooge Mike Watt and Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley are helping to spread the word about the performance, so there should be all sorts of cool people involved.

Hear that, "cool people"?

Anyway, here are the projected tour dates:

06-30 Calgary, Alberta - The Warehouse
07-02 Toronto, Ontario - Phoenix
07-07 Brooklyn, NY - Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park (Brooklyn Bridge Park)
08-08 Oslo, Norway - Øya Festival
08-10 Gothenburg, Sweden - Way Out West Festival
