If you haven’t yet, buy the record and come to the show on Sunday August 17th, you won’t be disappointed. Oliver was kind enough take some time off to indulge us with an interview on the phone on a Friday afternoon.

A Place to Bury Strangers finally took the stage. I really like their music and their set was pretty good minus the lights pulsing at the end.

A Place to Bury Strangers

Oliver Ackerman is an absolute genius, by the way. If they come to your town go see them, and don’t sit somewhere with a beer: stand up, put in your earplugs and watch him nurse what will probably be the most diverse group of tones out of his instruments you’ll hear in quite some time.
-
Lead singer Oliver Ackermann’s stand-in-place shoegazing was in stark contrast to the breathless stage-traveling Reznor would later exhibit.

Ackerman took a few minutes before the set on Sunday night, to answer 7 questions, for my continuing series Get to Know In 7.

Though A Place to Bury Strangers’ albums receive much praise, the best way to experience them is live. Guitarist and vocalist Oliver Ackerman is a tremendous performer; urging an unbelievable range of tones from his instrument, sometimes using nothing but feedback and broken strings against pickups.

Is pain-punk a genre? If not, APTBS may have just created it. Frontman/guitarist Oliver Ackermann concluded with an exclamation point: ripping the strings out of his guitar and slinging it around before exiting the stage.
-
I really digged the whole flashing lights thing toward the end of the set and Oliver taking the strings out of his guitar. (It looked like was what he was doing. I may be wrong.)
-
Anyways the lead guitarist was manic on his guitar and combined with the flashing lights made the whole performance awesome. The guitarist and drummer were nice enough to sign a shirt one of their only fan’s in the crowd threw to them.

I decided to take a vacation to see a couple of Nine Inch Nails shows as they are playing a few dates with A Place To Bury Strangers. I don’t expect my hearing to recover for quite sometime.

It’s not even September yet and the early part of the week is starting to fill up with major shows. Tonight it’s noisy, melodic, brooding, mechanical A Place to Bury Strangers making their Columbus debut.

The new version - scheduled for release on November 2, 2008 - will feature remastered versions of all the tracks from the U.S version. (released back in 2007) It will also see the addition of some - as yet unconfirmed - new material. The Rocket Girl record label will be doing the honours.

Part of Trent Reznor’s reinvention from industrial-pop starlet to the major-label bucking tastemaker has been his choice of opening acts for Nine Inch Nails tours. Nobody expected Reznor, who is more closely associated with Marilyn Manson than the Jesus Lizard, to become hip, but New York’s A Place to Bury Strangers aren’t doing much speculating. The trio will open for Nine Inch Nails on a string of dates later this month, and they are “psyched” about the opportunity.

Then I had perhaps the biggest revelation of the festival; New York trio A Place to Bury Strangers. Noisy but melodic music in the vein of Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine, they blew me away completely at skull crunching volume. Great songs, great performance.
