Interview: A Place To Bury Strangers
Back in 2007, the contract for A Place To Bury Strangers’ debut album was handwritten on a napkin. Since then Brooklyn three-piece have come a long way, they have travelled the world multiple times, released three more studio albums and toured with bands including The Jesus And Mary Chain, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Nine Inch Nails.
Next month, the band’s travels will bring them back to New Zealand for one performance. Their last visit was a blistering set at Laneway Festival in 2013, but this upcoming date is a headline show to support the release of their latest album Transfixiation, an album completed during a somewhat unsettled time for the band. UnderTheRadar spoke with the group’s New Zealand-born bassist Dion Lunadon (formerly of The D4) and chatted about the the new album, the struggles it took to finish it, band blowouts, and why he feels at home in New York...
