The Brooklyn-based case study in tympanic fortitude, A Place to Bury Strangers, made up for the loss of their seizure-inducing light show during their daytime set by moving their amps to the front of the stage and blowing out the crowd. I appreciate this, though I’m sure the neighbors didn’t. Strangers were absolutely spot-on, which is par for the course from the dudes who started Skywave back in the Bush years. Seeing the band in the bright sun aslo revealed interesting aspects of the band that you might not notice under their usual chaotic club performances. Besides basking in the awesome power of Oliver Ackermann’s mustache, you get a clear look at dude’s guitar. Damn. Axe got straight meatballed. That’s punk rock.
