A Place to Bury Strangers rocks the Echoplex

Recently, we got to see A Place to Bury Strangers rock out on stage at San Diego’s Casbah, an awesome little venue that we’ve noticed has some apartments sitting right on top of it. We’ve always wondered how the tenants there put up with all the noise, and it certainly couldn’t have been easy when A Place played there. The band is infamous for turning the volume up to maximum and rattling eardrums with distortion effects. This night was no different, and saw the band losing themselves in a miasma of noise and smoke from a fog machine. Vocalist and lead guitarist Oliver Ackerman totally lost himself in the band’s songs, at one point apparently smashing up his guitar and disappearing from the stage while he got another one.
Stereogum doesn’t have anything that dramatic to show its readers, but they do have a spread of photos from the band’s show at L.A.‘s Echoplex, and it gives you an idea of the energy that the band brings to the stage. If you haven’t seen them perform live before, then get yourself concert tickets to their next show. They’re touring behind a new album, Exploding Head.
