Pa Rum Pa Pum Pum
One of the sets I'm most looking forward to on Sunday is V∞REDOMS (or Boredoms as they are known overseas) on the White Stage. Following what will likely be a killer set by Battles, the Osaka quartet will definitely bring their A-game to FRF.
The act recently hosted a cool ass gig in NYC called 77Boardrum. They played with 77 drummers on July 7. The performance started, naturally, at 7:07 pm. Already boasting three talented drummers in the group, the other 74 were no slouches either and included members from the likes of underground faves such Lightning Bolt, Hot Snakes, Oneida, Unwound, Enon, Gang Gang Dance, Panthers, and Modest Mouse.

YouTube's got a whole whack of footage as well
The band are reportedly already beginning to think about possibly doing a similiar one-off set in honour of 8/8/08!
