Japanese avant-noise rockers The Boredoms held their long-heralded event, 77BOADRUM, in New York City's Brooklyn Bridge Park last Saturday, 7/7/07. The event was a 77 member drum circle with Brian Chippendale of Lightning Bolt and Andy McLeod of Modest Mouse and Howling Hex among the many guests. Pitchfork has the full list of drummers, photos, full coverage with more photos and videos from the event.

It's also interesting to note that the event was covered in a New York Times article (free registration required), though it doesn't add much aside from a different perspective. All reports seem to agree that it was certainly an event not to be missed, though no one was exactly clear on what exactly was happening. A DVD of the event is being produced, though there is no release date at the moment.
