A Place to Bury Strangers in LA

Posted about 1 year ago
You ever wonder how they work out who opens for whom on indie small-club tours? Saturday night in LA, A Place to Bury Strangers killed as an opening band for Holy Fuck. Until the day of the show, I thought APTBS was the headliner. Don't get me wrong -- Holy Fuck was great, too. But APTBS seems to be getting more buzz, and they look like a band going somewhere.On stage, APTBS lived up to that buzz -- in fact it felt like seeing Janes Addiction or Nirvana in a club right before they got big. It's clear that APTBS is more than just a Jesus and Mary Chain ripoff. And yes, as rumored, A Place to Bury Stranger is clearly the loudest band on Earth.

  1. Anna says I want to see ATBS, too! I'm being left out of the loudness! Very glad you enjoyed :)

  2. 1234chainsaw says Seen APTBS twice now, just last Friday most recently (review on my MOG page). I think they're wonderful, whereas Holy Fuck were . . . boring as fuck. I actually don't think they're particularly loud in terms of decibels; they just have a really robust sound and use feedback noise as an instrument in its own right. Glad you liked them and thanks for the review!
