Live: Boredoms at the La Brea Tar Pits

Boredoms' free Friday night concert at the La Brea Tar Pits was probably the second-most impressive percussion-centric event in the world that evening. But it's a testament to the wild ambitions of Boredoms' founder, Yamatsuka Eye, and the 88 drummers who joined him for a new avant-garde symphony, "88 BoaDrum," that it took the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics to overshadow the Japanese art-punk ensemble.
