Kolderie, Sean SladeA Place To Bury Strangers is a New York–based noise rock band composed of Oliver Ackermann (guitar/vocals), Dion Lunadon (bass guitar) and Robi Gonzalez (drums). The band plays a heavy, atmospheric wall of sound-influenced blend of psychedelic rock, shoegaze and space rock. The band is commonly known by the initials APTBS.
Early days
A Place to Bury Strangers was formed in 2002 by David Goffan and Tim Gregorio. Current frontman and guitarist Oliver Ackermann had moved to New York City, following the disbanding of his previous group, Skywave, to join the group and become the primary songwriter after the departure of Goffan. They played their first show at Luxx in Brooklyn in 2003. Jay Space and Jono Mofo, both from the New York City-based band MOFO, joined the band when Tim Gregorio left. In 2006, APTBS handmade three different untitled EPs with different color schemes; these later become known as the Red, Blue and Green EPs.
In 2006, the band gained some acclaim following its Webster Hall performance with The Brian Jonestown Massacre. The band returned to Webster Hall in 2007 to play with one of their major influences, The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Throughout these formative years, the band's live shows became increasingly chaotic which earned them the title of New York City's "loudest band" from various indie reviewers and bloggers, as well as "the most ear-shatteringly loud garage/shoegaze band you'll ever hear" by The Washington Post. The New York Times applauded their revival of "the ominous, feedback-drenched drones of the 1980s".
The first record and touring
In 2007, Jon Whitney from Killer Pimp Records wrote on a napkin the contract for their first release, A Place to Bury Strangers. In August 2007, the band gained national attention after a favorable Pitchfork Media review of this album.
In 2007, the band joined Black Rebel Motorcycle Club on the "Holy Fuck" tour.
In April 2008, it was announced that the band would open for Nine Inch Nails for several dates on their US tour.
The band's first UK release was in May 2008, via Rocket Girl, when they played a handful of UK shows and received strong praise from the British media with early support from NME and Kerrang!. In November 2008, the band returned to Europe and the UK on tour supporting MGMT. Their album, out the same month, once again made a stir in the UK media.
