So you were totally hyped for BOTCH‘s reunion shows… until reality hit. Adulting, amirite? Work meetings. Laundry. That weird rash. But guess what? The mathcore legends are throwing you a bone – a live album AND concert film dropping June 27 via Sargent House. Your couch just became the new mosh pit.
Meet 061524 – named after their June 15, 2024 gig at Seattle’s Showbox. Fun fact alert: This is the same venue where they played their “final” show… 22 YEARS AGO. Time is fake, full-circle moments are real, and BOTCH still hates capital letters in song titles (looking at you, “C. Thomas Howell as the ‘Soul Man'”).
They’ve unleashed a live version of “To Our Friends in the Great White North” – watch the video below for a masterclass in controlled chaos. Crowdsurfers? Check. Stage divers? Check. Enough sweat to fill a kiddie pool? Oh you bet. It’s like someone bottled 2002 and shook it violently.
Wanna host the world’s most intense living room pity party? Pre-order here and pretend your IKEA lamp is a stage light. Bonus points if you spill beer on yourself for authenticity.
