Head to the Triple Rock for what will surely be one of the loudest shows of the week (year?) as scuzzy rockers A Place to Bury Strangers will bring their noise rock to the West Bank.

I spotted the drummer from a place to bury strangers before the show and chatted with him on a couple occasions. a very nice gentleman. I also had the pleasure of talking to the lead singer who I also found to be very nice and endearing. so… on to the pics!

Lead guitarist and vocalist Oliver Ackerman is an unsmiling, intense individual who thoroughly abuses his instrument. I was told by more knowlegable fans in the audience that all his effects pedals are homemade. That he is something of an eletronics innovator when it comes to this sort of thing.

“I don’t know if we’re necessarily the loudest band,” said Ackermann, calling from Death By Audio, his rehearsal spot/recording studio/custom effects pedal factory in Brooklyn. “But we play with a lot of frequencies that could make someone’s ears ring. We try to produce things that overcome the body and take over. It’s a kind of complete control of what’s going on.”
