Infamous drone overlords Sunn O))) have released a plethora of live bootlegs on a new Bandcamp, featuring "unmixed, unmastered raw footage captured via underground tapers & fans". The band is notorious for their spectacular live shows, which always include the commendable utilisation of smoke machines and robes, and should be best visited with a pair of earplugs. They have invited fans to submit further footage from Sunn O)))’s gigs past and present, with all proceeds from the digital sales going to fund "future O))) actions". The site already has 67 live recordings online for download, and it seems as if more will be added as and when they become available. Listen to the most recent recording, from last month’s gig at Motion in Bristol, below:
