Flip those mini-blinds to the closed position, Europe! Soon enough, you'll be invaded by the ever-watchful Eye, the robot-squelching Yoshimi, and whoever else is in Boredoms/Vooredoms these days. The Japanese noise-makers are coming atcha, and you'd be advised to lock your doors, secure your windows, and pedal your motorcar venueward, for they're hitting Scandinavia in August and much of the UK (and Belgium and the Netherlands) in October.

Of course, those of us on the left side of the Atlantic will have to get our Boredoms action in a somewhat more sporadic fashion, as they've only a few dates scheduled 'round the way; including, of course, their free 77-drum attack on Brooklyn Bridge Park July 7. Clickety clack!

More European dates are around the corner (possibly in September?), so if you're feeling particularly lucky/unemployed, head on over to your local beer garden and hope for the best.
