A Place To Bury Strangers and Holy Fuck played at the Record Bar in Kansas City on March 8th, 2008. APTBS opened up for Holy Fuck and played an insane set that almost gave me a seizure due to their strobe lights, fog and fuzzed out guitars...It was great, even though I was queasy. The huge shot the band bought me at the end of the night didn't settle to well either, but whose complaining...I thought they played even better than when I saw them open for B.R.M.C. I talked to Oliver before the show and took a couple shots of him as well as Jspace and JonoMOFO after the show. Couldn't have been nicer guys. I know they got a lot of respect recently at SXSW.
Holy Fuck headlined the show, I was up front taking shots but they had two keyboard/DJ setups facing each other with the drummer and bass player in the back, so they pretty much all looked a like. I like Holy Fuck more after seeing them live. The DJ/Keyboards mixed with the live drums and bass really worked for me...especially their drummer. I read that Lou Reed gave them a huge endorsement at SXSW. They are on their way to bigger and better things for sure.
