We need a 'BOC AREN'T PLAYING COACHELLA' sticky post. Then we need to move the fuck on.
Was going to write the same thing, but I'd rather just quote you.
Going back to the salt mines.

Amen.
If and when BOC choose to through themselves back into the live action, I'd sincerely hope it's about as far - both literally and metaphorically speaking - from bloody Coachella/Glastonbury/et al as is bloody possible.

I kinda don't ever want it to happen really. Sure, it'd be fucking life changingly incredible but there is something quite nice to the fact you'll never find a shitty bootleg (Echus does NOT count in this) or camera phone video of one of their gigs online.
BoC are way more personal than that in my opinion, completely tailored to headphones, and the space between those headphones. It's a set and setting kind of music to me. They work best in those quiet, meditative states.
Not saying they wouldn't be amazing live, and an experience equally as good as listening in headphones, I just think they tailor their music towards solitary moments.

The nearest BoC should ever go to Coachella is Yermo. And I don't think either of them went there either.

Not even if they roped in Adam Wiltzie, Brian McBride, Nils Frahm and Luke Savisky as live members?
I mean, it's worth thinking about...

Just imagine a BoC/SOTL collaboration

Can imagine, but I fear it'll stay an imagination thing, indefinitely

Lets just assume it would be too much, and it wouldn't work...
(we all know that's a lie ha)

They might not ever play live again, but I still very much think they should consider coming to my neck of the woods.

Not that I think this is real, but to the people doubting they'll ever play anywhere again, or saying that they said they hate doing live shows, didn't they just say recently on one of the Tomorrow's Harvest interviews that they'd love to do a show again, but they just haven't had time?

Correct. Kind of.
The exact words used, as I recall, were '
Never say never'.
They also mentioned working in their 'rehearsal space' too.

I've kinda always felt that to a large degree tbh. Over the last couple of years, tho, I've wondered whether BoC will become a kinda... 'late in the day' touring act, which could be kinda sweet. If they totally reverse the whole touring front from being something an early-stage band does to what they start doing once they've actually ripened, when they're a bit older, and just for a bit of fun (more than all the other aspects of fame/attitude/crowds that go along with live).
I don't think I'd ever mind if they never played live again tho, tbh. As long as we keep getting releases once or twice a decade

Yeah this is essentially what Jandek did. For those unfamiliar Jandek is a very bizarre and secretive musician from Texas who has been releasing albums since 1979 on his Corwood Industries label. It wasn't until 2004 that he finally performed (as an unnamed 'special guest' )for the first time at a low-key festival in Glasgow. I could see BoC taking a similar route someday.

Jandek is so interesting, his story/career is so bizarre
