A Place To Bury Strangers biography

A Place to Bury Strangers (also known by APTBS) is an American noise rock band originally from Brooklyn, New York.

A Place To Bury Strangers was first formed in 2003 by David Goffan and Tim Gregorio, and was later joined by Oliver Ackermann. The band started to gain attention after their performance at Webster Hall with The Brian Jonestown Massacre in 2006. By 2007 they signed a contract (on a napkin) with Killer Pimp Records, followed shortly by the release of their first album “A Place To Bury Strangers.” That same year they set out on tour with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s “Holy F k” tour.

The band continued to tour with carious other bands and in 2009 they signed with Mute Records. The contact helped them go on another tour as well as various festivals, such as Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Seaport Music Festival and Siren Music Festival. By the end of 2009 they released their sophomore album entitled “Exploding Head.” The band set out on tour of the United States, supporting various other bands, and made appearances again at several festivals. By Spring of 2012 the band released their third album “Worship” as well as the announcement of a tour. Not long after the band went back into the studio to start recording their fourth album, released in 2015.

Live reviews

You haven’t seen a rock show until you’ve witness A Place to Bury Strangers. Once dubbed New York City’s ‘loudest rock band,’ this band plugs in and will literally blow your ears off. Composed of Oliver Ackerman, Dion Lunadon and Robi Gonzalez, they went through a number of lineup changes before releasing their first album. However with ingenuity and determination, they rocked their way to a record deal and dropped three albums, including 2012’s ‘Worship.’
Watching them is not only a sonic but also a visual experience. Lighting is a big part of their show, mainly because you’re essentially standing in the dark for a good amount of the gig. But of course, they can’t stay that way the whole time (or can they?). Without being too spacey, A Place to Bury Strangers have a white strobe light in addition to other lighting systems, which adds another dimension. And for someone who photographs concerts, it’s probably one of the most exciting and frustrating thing to deal with. But once you get the tempo of the light right, their set up will produce some of the more interesting shots you’ll grab of a band.
A Place to Bury Strangers aren’t just loud. They clearly have a set plan when it comes to their playing. The chaotic and heavy beating of the drums add a dubby effect to the shoegaze riffs on the guitars. Just make sure you don’t stand too close to the speaker. Otherwise you might not hear anything else for the next couple of days.
