Could There Be New Boom Crash Opera Music In 2024?

Boom Crash Opera will start a busy 2024 with The Best Things tour started March 1 but we have to go right back to 1997 for the last Boom Crash Opera album ‘Gizmo Mantra’.

Could Boom Crash Opera release their first new music for the 21st century in 2024? All drummer Peter ‘Maz’ Maslen can give us is a “maybe”.

Maz tells Noise11.com, “There is always a dialogue around new music … always. It is just the energy to do it. Bands have a finite period from when they start to when they start having families and other priorities in life. That for us happened around the mid 90s. From the mid 90s and for the next decade it was ‘no, can’t do this, won’t do that’. Now that we have the time in our senior years there seems to be more time to do it. That is not a suggestion that there will be new music but there is dialogue around it. We could actually do it. Its just the emotional energy that runs through that process. I think a lot of bands of our era would struggle dealing with the musical relationships with each other”.

There is an unreleased album ‘Born Again’. In 1995, Boom Crash Opera released their fourth album ‘Born’. ‘Born’ was released in March 1995 in a double disc package for the second album ‘Born Again’ to follow in April. It didn’t, and has remained unreleased to this day. But Boom Crash Opera do perform some of the songs live.

Maz says, “There is dialogue on that too and my personal view is that I think we should re-record that record. We play about two or three of those songs from ‘Born Again’ live. They are songs people have never heard before. I think there is merit in doing those songs again. The energy to go into a studio and reinvigorate the musical relationship with each other and get everyone in an area where everyone is focused and happy takes so much emotional energy”.
