“I’ve settled into a routine here at Death By Audio. I wake up at 8:30, do some Kundalini Yoga that I learned from Drew, make a huge breakfast, pack my PB&J sandwich for lunch, and bike the 8 miles to work. Then I arrive home around 8 pm and am too tired to make it past midnight, usually.

I guess I’d like to have some more time off. I really don’t do anything for myself anymore. I don’t play drums or saxophone or guitar, I put off all my circuit-bending projects, since both the altoid amp and the theremin are having problems that I don’t feel like fixing. I have been writing sporadically, and I occasionally still do sound effects for Columbia students. I think I may leave this job after the busy season. Thinking about a cross-country trip, couch surfing with some friends. I can make it to Wisconsin from here, at least. I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to get the rest of the way.

Anyway, one of my roommates’ bands played the other night with Holy Fuck at the Williamsburg Hall of Music [5/22]. They’re called A Place to Bury Strangers, and before I lived here I had not listened to them.” [Kleeb Verses the World]

Kleeb goes on to say that, “As far as the actual music, it’s not really my thing. But I will say that A Place to Bury Strangers was one of the best live bands I’ve seen recently”. Holy Fuck and APTBS also played Bowery Ballroom one night later (5/23). All HF dates HERE. Grab two APTBS/HF mashups, courtesy of Pitchfork, above.

Now that both of those NYC shows have happened, it has been officially announced that the secret guest at this Wednesday’s Shilpa Ray show at Pianos (5/27) is in fact A Place to Bury Strangers. Death By Audio artists Coin Under Tongue and Sisters are also on the bill. Tickets are still on sale.
