Pitchfork

It is almost certainly best to go on up and introduce yourself to A Place to Bury Strangers at your earliest convenience; after all, they're less likely to dump your body off if you're an acquaintance.

The New York noiseniks will make themselves available to meet, greet, and tear your face off with their custom-built pedal rack of stranger danger on their first ever full-fledged North American tour. It all kicks off Valentine's Day in Cleveland.

The guys will join their fellow sonic messer-uppers in Holy Fuck here and there, and they plan to drop in at South by Southwest for a spell too. And, when it's all said and done, they'll join all their new friends at this May's ATP vs. Pitchfork festival, going down May 9-11 near Rye, England. All those dates are available after the jump-- or, as we like to call it, a place to bury valuable information.
