You dudes should definately go even if you aren't metal heads.

Agreed. I'm not too familiar with Sunn but I bought myself a ticket to the London show. Looking epic, but so so far away right now..

come to the americas please

It's basically ambient drone with power chords tuned super low so if you can tolerate ambient music styles then this is sort of a similar vibe...just not all feel goody blissful ambient.

anybody like to recommend a reliable pair of earplugs to withstand 6 amplifier stacks worth of sunn blast. i have a feeling my travel foam ones wont quite cut it..

I saw them once but i'll never forget,
Stoned like hell i was and it sounded and felt like a huge lawn mower driving over me, for an hour, in a very nice way!
Merzbow also played that day it was pretty heavy
i have the album they played but it can never top the feeling when i experienced them live,
i highly recommend you go see them if they play near you

Ooh this reminds me... Earth playing on March 12th

I use Hearos for playing with bands. Specifically these:

Get em at music/band stores. Clean them after each use with a klenex or something. Not sure how much they would help at a Sunn gig. The most noticeable difference for me when I have them in is it cuts out high frequencies like cymbals and very sharp ear piercing guitar notes.

Definately, it's sort of putting me off going tbh. Even if it is Sunn O))), there's no point seeing them where the acoustics are absolute shit, a pint costs over £4 and you're pratically walking around in other people's piss.

EDIT: Just noticed it's being run by One Inch Badge, which explains why booking such a shit venue.
