Two days later ALTAR will make another appearance, this time alongside the first official performance of BXI (BORIS and Ian Astbury of The Cult), which will all go down at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple, which has been inarguably dubbed "the loudest room in NYC," and presented by All Tomorrow's Parties and The Blackened Music Series.
The debut release from BXI is a 4-song self-titled EP, which was released by Southern Lord Recordings on August 17th. The EP is quickly surprising fans of both The Cult and BORIS, as well as journalists across the globe, and has listeners taking this new collaboration quite seriously, making this official first concert together an exceptionally special performance for the unit.
