urma (aka Myanmar) has had a rough run as of late; it needs a little mad guitar-heavy post-punk (though, it's had its fill of post-post-punk). So do you. Nearly three decades after conception, the stalwart Boston noise purveyors. Mission of Burma can still blow your eardrums off (in a good way). Started in 19789, the band is known for using rapid shifts in dynamics, unconventional time signatures and chord progressions, and various tape effects and manipulations. Yet, somehow they are able to experiment while maintaining the rebellious attitude of punk rock. Finally music geeks can attend the same shows as hardcore punks without getting their asses kicked. Well, not necessarily anyway. Mission of Burma plays tomorrow at Plaza Club.
