MUNICIPAL WASTE Drummer Dave Wittie Chosen for 88BoaDrum

MUNICIPAL WASTE drummer Dave Witte has been selected as one of 88 drummers who will participate in the Brooklyn portion of 88BoaDrum, sponsored by Nike.

Conceived by the Japanese psych-noise group, BOREDOMS, 88BoaDrum is an original 88-minute composition that will be performed by 88 drummers in Los Angeles, CA and Brooklyn, NY on August 8th, 2008 (8/8/08). The bi-coastal performances of 88BoaDrum will be sponsored by Nike who will be giving away limited-edition, hand-screened t-shirts to members of the audience.

Each drummer was hand-picked by BOREDOMS and Dave Witte has the distinction of being the only metal drummer out of the 88 selected, making his participation all the more prestigious. Taken aback by the honor, Dave Witte stated very simply, “I'm a lucky dog.”

You can catch MUNICIPAL WASTE drummer, Dave Witte at the Brooklyn performance.

Locations and times are as follows:

8:08 PM EST Williamsburg Waterfront – Brooklyn, NY
8:08 PM PST La Brea Tar Pits – Los Angeles, CA

Tickets to this unique drumming-as-art event are free and are being given away at several locations around the greater Los Angeles and New York City areas.
