Osaka, Japan (1986 – present)
Boredoms (or, more recently, V∞redoms) is a musical group from Osaka, Japan. The band was officially formed in 1986, although some date the band to bedroom tape experiments from 1982. The band’s output is usually referred to as noise rock or sometimes Japanoise, though their more recent records have been largely based around repetitive minimalism, ambient music, and tribal drumming.
The band has a vast and sometimes confusing discography. Many band members have rotated through the group over the years, often using a number of various stage names. Singer Yamantaka Eye is the closest the band has to a frontman; his style includes a range of baffling screams, babbling, electronic effects, and very heavy post-production. Drummer/singer/trumpeter Yoshimi P-We has also featured on most Boredoms recordings.
Boredoms were formed in early 1986 by Yamantaka Eye, who at the time acted as front man for the infamous and highly controversial dada-influenced noise/performance art act Hanatarash, locally notorious for its extremely dangerous live shows consisting entirely of on-stage destruction and complete disregard for the audience’s safety. The insane antics of Hanatarash would later be highly influential on the earliest incarnation of Boredoms, which was formed by the remaining members of a band Eye started with Hanatarash drummer Ikuo Taketani, as well as guitarist Tabata Mitsuru (known as Tabata Mara), bassist HOSOI Hisato, and vocalist Makki Sasarato, called Acid Makki & Combi and Zombie.

I've done all that multiple times, but it still seems to do that. Errrugh, last.fm is just silly at times. And agreed, Voaltz is the jam of a lifetime.

Try manually making sure the tags are exact on to the ones on here.. other than that try restarting the computer (and hence your music player & scrobbler) and then see if it does it.. AND not behind the curve now, Voaltz/Relerer is incredible!

Also, my Seadrum/House of Sun keeps scrobbling to "various artists" for some reason, and it's pretty fucking annoying. Does anybody else have this problem?

he will live until the year 2164 at which time his atomic structure will break down causing the end of the world, and in turn creating a new Big Bang. at which moment Vision Creation Newsun will be used as blueprint for the creation of a better universe!
