Death by Audio triple live LP set for release

Death by Audio compilation LP set for release August 5

For nearly a decade, Death By Audio was a recording studio, an effect pedal workshop, a music venue, and a home to musicians and artists. Oliver Ackermann (A Place to Bury Strangers) found the warehouse in 2005 and along with fellow artists in Dirty on Purpose, he started hosting concerts to help pay to build out bedrooms and studios. By 2007 DBA was hosting bands almost every night.

Over 1,800 shows later, DBA announced its impending eviction with an epic final month of programming. Start Your Own Fucking Show Space tracks the last days of DBA in November 2014, a sweaty, bittersweet homecoming for many artists who began their career there. Presented in chronological running order, Start Your Own Fucking Show Space features live recordings from 26 bands over the venue’s final month. Artists include A Place to Bury Strangers, Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall, Future Islands, Protomartyr, Lightning Bolt, and many many more.

The compilation will be available in stores August 5th and is up for pre-order now both digitally and as a 3xLP. The LP set is housed in a double gatefold jacket with printed board inner sleeves listing every one of the 1,800+ shows in the venue’s history. There is a limited pressing of the compilation on clear with opaque blue and red vinyl, available while supplies last.

There are also limited edition bundles- the first of which combines the deluxe colored 3xLP with a bonus LP of Ty Segall’s first NYC set, live at DBA on September 28, 2008. The audio will never be released digitally and the LP is limited to 1000 hand numbered copies on randomly mixed BPMC colored vinyl.The second combines the black vinyl edition of our 3xLP with a copy of“We’ve Come So Far – The Last Days of Death By Audio”- the book from photographer Ebru Yildiz which captures the last 75 days of DBA, not only the concerts but also the quieter, more intimate scenes.
