this will be the best show of the summer. right jag?
What's the deal on these guys? I like their name. [/b]
here's what i wrote about 'em last october: of the hundreds of bands i've seen play this year, a place to bury strangers last night was quite possibly the best. just insanely good. better than the other times i've seen them, and according to people who have seen them MANY times, this was the best. the first two songs were especially mindblowing, a perfect combination of spacemen 3 and mc5.
ok, that wasn't really all that insightful. loud louder loudest. to expected from post-skywave, who was pretty much the loudest band in the world. but definitely not just sheets of noise, they have songs and rock the three-piece as well as it can be done. they just opened for JAMC in new york, that's the band they get compared to the most, but as you can tell by my description above, they got a bit more going on.
listen for yourself. my fave is "ocean".
