so, it says on the archived 2001 atp site on he boc info page that boc played alongside autechre, cylob, and several others.. can anyone confirm this? are there any recordings of this, or is it simply a myth?

also, later on down the passage it says they played several show in 1997... what?! am I just an idiot or are these just myths?

Why is it hard to believe? Like they only have done the 3 shows we all have on bootleg?

I wonder if I've ever seen them live performing under a different moniker.

There was the tiniest clip of a live Chinook set on the old website back in the 1990's along with the Duffy clip and all else, but I don't know what to believe.

I presume the have played small, low-key unofficial gigs to a privileged few.

I know this will sound ridiculous (so I don't know the worth of saying it in the first place, but anyway..) A good friend of mine, knows a bird who apparently watched them play live years ago. She didn't know who they were and was just went along with friends who obviously did know who BOC were. It means nothing really, though I'd like to meet her as I'd interrogate her very intensely about it. Another mysterious story it seems. Not much about this band is clear cut is it?

I am seriously loling @ this ^^ and I fear for this girl... one day getting intensely interrogated by some intense BOC fan about a gig she once went to some years ago w/ a band who may have been boc... lol.

Plz, if this interrogation takes place, record it and put it on YouTube

any recordings of these are not real, although boc did do a small tour in 1997

Looks like I've picked up an impersonator!

Wow, MDG, what fast response, you old lurker you!

I was almost tempted to make a "..mdg" account discrediting what you where saying but no point in angering Robirobi. He knows where I live now and might come after me with a chainsaw.

As for .mdg, you could have at least used the mdg avatar...lazy boy.

He / she was definitely using it for a little while at first.

I stand corrected! Best mdg-impersonator in the history of twoism.

He did but after an account deletion the avatar is gone too

I don't have a chainsaw but a fire hose will work too I heard.

I sense a double bluff here

MDG, any news on anything for the future?

They were in Switzerland with Autechre in 1997. Back then I was two years old.

This will never happen again.

I'd love to hear news of some kind of live event - christ even if they just did a webcast from their studio to some audio/visual setup somewhere i'd be happy to turn up.

They've got to be holding the record for the longest time w/ no gig for a band that's still releasing, right?
