Rubber Gloves Owner Josh Baish Has An Ear For Music

A helpful FrontBurnervian passes along this compelling Pitchfork link about Josh Baish, owner of the bar/studio/venue Rubber Gloves in Denton. Last October, Baish went to Marfa to see his favorite Japanese noise band Boris perform. The story is sadly missing some details on this part:

During the performance he was assaulted by four men, who broke one of his ribs and managed to bite off a chunk of one of his ears.

Gets better. While packing up, members of Boris found the chunk of ear and sent it to Baish in hopes it could be reattached. It couldn’t, but Boris wrote a song about it. Baish told Pitchfork:

“So basically, I lost my ear and broke a rib at a concert from my favorite band, and they wrote a song about it. I’d say it was worth it.”
