Details of A Place To Bury Strangers and the Ticket Luck value

A Place To Bury Strangers
A Place To Bury Strangers has often been called the loudest band in New York. This may very well be the case, but unlike much so-called loud rock and roll that's out there, APTBS is not loud simply for the sake of it. Their songs are about longing, heartbreak and confusion played at a passionately loud volume.

Music Style
The style of is unique. They custom-build and design their own hand-wired pedals, which are used by everyone from Lightning Bolt and Serena Maneesh to Wilco, Spoon, and TV on the Radio.

Band Members
A Place to Bury Strangers is a power trio comprised of Oliver Ackermann, Jono MOFO and Jay Space. The band plays a heavy, atmospheric wall of sound-influenced blend of psychedelic rock, shoegaze and space rock. The band is commonly known by the initialism APTBS.

With a bandname that's linked to both the Gospel of Matthew and the writings of British occultist Aleister Crowley, A Place to Bury Strangers represents something of a second coming for Ackermann.

After their breakup, Skywave's remaining members formed the like-minded two-piece Ceremony, and Ackermann moved to New York where he hooked up with drummer Jay Space and bassist Jono Mofo, turned up the volume.

Debut Album
Compiling mastered versions of the band's early CD-Rs and mp3s, A Place to Bury Strangers' self-titled debut LP is a unique collection of songs. Plenty of bands have tapped the trebly, ecstatic side in recent years, but none have managed to come near to the original.

What hits first is the deep distortion. The brutal textures announce themselves in pangs of blown-out guitar, crunching against the bassline and distant, static-soaked drums of opening track Missing You.

What matters most is the substance behind the style, and here, even morose falling-out songs like Another Step Away are saturated with slender indie-pop melody.

A Place to Bury Strangers can pull beauty out of eardrum-puncturing bleakness, but the most tuneful offering here, Don't Think Lover, is gentle and romantic-- when not exploding at the seams.

A Place to Bury Strangers may not be easy for would-be record buyers to find-- it's currently limited to 500 copies but it's worth every effort.

New Yorks Loudest Band
A Place to Bury Strangers has been declared as New York City's loudest band by various indie reviewers and bloggers throughout the course of their live music career, as well as the most ear-shatteringly loud garage/shoegaze band you'll ever hear by The Washington Post. The New York Times applauded their revival of the ominous, feedback-drenched drones of the 1980s.

2006 - Webster Hall Performance
In 2006, the band gained some acclaim following their Webster Hall performance with Brian Jonestown Massacre. They returned to Webster Hall in 2007 to play with one of their major influences, The Jesus And Mary Chain.

In August 2007 the band suddenly gained national attention after a favorable Pitchfork review of their debut release A Place to Bury Strangers on the Killer Pimp label. In 2007, the band joined Black Rebel Motorcycle Club on tour.

In April 2008 it was announced that the band would open for Nine Inch Nails for several dates on their US tour.In November 2008, the band are coming back to the UK on tour supporting MGMT.

Power Trio
The band is termed as power trio for being a rock and roll band format popularized in the 1960s. The traditional power trio has a lineup of guitar, bass and drums, leaving out the rhythm guitar or keyboard that are used in other rock music to fill out the sound with chords.

While one or more band members may sing, power trios usually emphasize instrumental performance and overall impact over vocals and lyrics.

The rise of the power trio in the 1960s was made possible in part by developments in amplifier technology that greatly enhanced the volume of the electric guitar and bass. The prototypical power trios were exemplified by late 1960s-era blues-rock bands The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream.

Well-known 1970s-era power trios include the Canadian prog rock group Rush; the British heavy metal band Mot?rhead; and The Jam and The Police.

Keyboard-oriented power trios using electronic organ also emerged, such as Atomic Rooster, the guitar-less incarnations of Soft Machine and The Nice, and progressive rock band Emerson Lake & Palmer.

Although power trios fell out of fashion in mainstream rock during the early 1980s, the rise of post-punk and indie rock in the later 1980s and throughout the 1990s featured many trios, such as grunge-rockers Nirvana and pop-punk bands such as Green Day and Blink-182. In more recent years, the term has become generally applied to any sort of three-person band.
