On a Sunday night what better to do than head down the Ruby lounge for a bit of "Fucked up Rock'n'Roll" - so we headed down to see A Place to Bury Strangers - having seen them back in March 2011 at the SXSW festival in Texas (and had been blown away by them then) I knew what to expect from the night!
First up were a couple of decent support bands (Mr Fist & Deadbeat Echoes) which set the mood nicely with some very loud guitars - and it was nice and loud! Then the lights went down - it was time for A Place to Bury Strangers, and the 4 projectors on stage came to life flickering and strobeing to create a great visual way of lighting the band as they powered though their hour long set. A good mix of new album with a few old favourites thrown in. For a guitar, bass & drums, they make one hell of a noise - with lots of echoes, reverb and effects, but still keeping a powerful heavy rock & roll edge. A Place to Bury Strangers is a fully exhilarating experience. Next time they play I fully recommend getting down to see them. Top Gig!
