I like dance music too (currently boring everyone with Basic Channel
records) and i have seen the drum trio line-up - Eye wasn't playing
the sevana thingummyjig at the time. maybe i'm just getting old! of
course, part of the whole Boredoms appeal lies in their
unconventionality and mutability - but you have to wonder if the drum
trio has become self-limiting. I'm also getting old, and have a baby
to feed - so 60 quid on what my wife calls'that noise' is a bit
tricky...
