Pitchfork: A Place to Bury Strangers Hit Vinyl, Play Benefit for Cat

A Place to Bury Strangers Hit Vinyl, Play Benefit for Cat

You may have taken note of our recent infatuation with A Place to Bury Strangers, the braying, bedlamite cabinet-blowers and Best New Music recipients from NYC. Worry not, they've noticed you, too, and are doing what they can to make sure you've got every opportunity to get familiar with 'em, pronto. Not only have they added a handful of dates to their meager tour roster, but they're issuing their self-titled LP on vinyl October 23 via Important Records.

The band is also giving back in another, completely different, way. On October 17 at their studio space, Death by Audio, AP2BS will play a benefit show along with Dirty on Purpose. And who is the benefit for? Sez their MySpace page: "Our studio cat 'Hammer' got hit by a car and had expensive medical bills. This benefit is for our cat and also we will be donating money to the local animal shelter BARC."

Awww! Isn't that, like, the cutest thing ever?
