We’re just gonna put it out there: value-wise, this is one of the best money-to-band lineups we’ve seen in a while. Let the fools drop pointless hundreds on an average dinner and champagne they pretend to like. You’ll drop $25 and rock out to A Place To Bury Strangers, the Brooklyn trio that fuses shoegaze, industrial hard rock and dark post-punk. Frontman Oliver Ackermann, the founder of effects pedal company Death by Audio, employs many of them to great use in his band’s own set, constantly tweaking and warping the sound while never devolving into pointless noise. It’s loud. Hard. Noisy. Perfect for (ears) ringing in the New Year. Brooklyn’s Dirty on Purpose also perform in what will be their last show ever. With The Vandelles

On New Year’s Eve, Dirty on Purpose will play their farewell show with close friends, A Place To Bury Strangers, at Mercury Lounge in New York City. The Strangers have been their friends and fellow Death By Audio dwellers for years now and Mercury Lounge is where the band played their first big sold out show back in 2003 with the Decemberists.

New York four piece, Dirty on Purpose, have decided to call it quits. After spending an “unusual and unhealthy” amount of time together over the years, the band will play their farewell show at Mercury Lounge on New Years Eve with close friends, A Place To Bury Strangers. This show is sure to sell out, so get your tickets now! As for the future, the guys will continue playing music in other projects, so keep your eyes peeled.

Make sure you check out Screen VInyl Image. One of the latest Electro / Psychadelic / Experimental bands from the Big Apple that have been caught up in the influence of perfect noise that only Death By Audio pedals can create.
