Back in 1996, Tokyo’s amp-worshipping juggernauts Boris played Moe’s (now Neumos) with sludge legend Joe Preston’s solo project Thrones as part of their first US tour. Now in their 26th year of activity, Boris have used their anniversary as an opportunity to revisit their extensive catalog of studio albums, import-only releases, small-run experimental offerings, and collaborative projects on social media. The big question is how they’ll acknowledge their elevated age status onstage. Given the location and lineup, conditions seem ideal for a career-spanning set, but given Boris’s knack for defying expectations, the audience should be prepared for anything. by Brian Cook
