Parish Pics – Last Night
The Big Pink and A Place to Bury Strangers hit the Parish last night, and my ears are still buzzing.
Though A Place to Bury Strangers have been to town quite a few times, somehow I hadn’t seen them before last night. Now that I have, may I say GODDAMN. Have you seen HEALTH live? The aesthetic is very similar: noise rock, wall of sound, thrashing around stage with disorienting strobes. Awesome and insane.
The Big Pink were fun, with sporadic outbreaks of dance party. I was mainly at the show for APTBS, but these guys gave good stage presence. And of course, they exploded the room by ending with Dominos.
Lastly, I gotta say that despite my initial impressions of LCD Soundsystems’s new single (kinda thought it was ‘meh’), I suddenly can’t get it out of my head. Damn James Murphy and his talent at insanely catchy hooks!
So hurry over to the Stubb’s site ASAP to get tickets for both them and MGMT, because that shit is gonna sell out insanely fast, then you’ll be sad at missing the dance party.
