ADULT. & A Place To Bury Strangers * DANA
$25 Adv. / $30 Day of / 18+ / Doors: 8pm / Show: 9pm
ADULT. is not cooperating. For over 25 years, the dystopian Detroit synth-punk institution founded by Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller has embodied steadfast frustration, distrust, and apprehension. One might expect the edges to soften with time, but ADULT. is not interested in the comforts of legacy. The duos music has never sounded as visceral, urgent, and downright angry as it does on the culminating, uncompromising Kissing Luck Goodbye, their scorched-earth 10th LP and fourth with Dias Records. Built with upgraded gear and a whole new library of sounds, the material is crushingly dynamic, louder yet clearer, with Kuperus commanding delivery given greater prominence in the mix, outlining an arsenal of vivid, caustic calls, chants, and musings.
Fans around the world know Oliver Ackermann always brings surprises. For nearly two decades, the singer and guitarist of New York Citys A Place To Bury Strangers has fused post-punk, noise-rock, shoegaze, psychedelia, and avant-garde experimentation into music that feels volatile and alive. As the founder of Death By Audio, hes extended that same spirit through his signal-scrambling effects, empowering artists everywhere to push sound past its limits. Onstage, A Place To Bury Strangers delivers a shamanistic experienceimmersive, feral, and electrifyingwhere real-time experiments and sudden breakthroughs collide.
