A Place to Bury Strangers at Death by Audio

A Place to Bury Strangers, the self-proclaimed loudest band in New York, played a show a few nights ago at Death by Audio, a janky, unmarked Williamsburg warehouse which is home to a practice space, audio pedal workshop, and small stage. The show was recorded for an upcoming live LP, and the band played through their first album from start to finish. I kind of freaked because i forgot to bring earplugs and was anticipating leaving the venue completely deaf, but the sound must have been subdued as it had been when I saw them in LA, because I didnt notice any blood trickling out of my ears. The show was good, no exceptional performance, but im always kind of amazed that the sound they make is actually coming from a guitar, bass and drums, just with super heavy pedals. i took a bunch of photos at the show, so click the photo below for the gallery..

if you dont know APTBS, id say think jesus & mary chain my bloody valentine industrial shoegaze.
