Packing a wallop of sound that belies their duo status, Death from Above 1979 defies easy categorization. Bassist Jesse F. Keeler and drummer/vocalist Sebastien Grainger fuse elements of punk, dance-punk, and rock into a frenetic package that's hard to resist. If you're considering seeing them live — and you should be — let's talk about how to snag the best seats for an immersive sonic adventure.

Their concerts are nothing short of electric, translating well to both intimate and expansive settings. Take a venue like The Masquerade in Atlanta, where the intensity of the bass and drums reverberates off the walls in a beautiful cacophony. Alternatively, in a place like The Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State, the band’s energy envelops the crowd as it ripples across the vast open-air space.

Formed in 2001, Death from Above 1979 initially generated buzz in the Toronto scene before releasing their first EP, "Heads Up." Their 2004 debut album "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine" was a critical and commercial success, and they've since shared stages with acts as diverse as Queens Of The Stone Age and Nine Inch Nails. After disbanding in 2006, their 2011 reUnion brought new material and rEvitalized energy, further solidifying their place in the alternative music pantheon.

Ticket pricing can be a variable game. For smaller venues like The Masquerade, you could be looking at a starting price of around $40. Bigger arenas could have general admission tickets starting at $60, with premium spots hitting the $150-$200 range. What constitutes the 'best seats' often depends on your personal concert style. If you're all about the audio-visual experience, you may opt for a more expensive spot that delivers prime sightlines and acoustics. Always consult seating charts online to inform your choice, and be quick to act, as their shows often sell out quickly.

For the small venue experience, getting a spot right in front of the stage allows for an almost tactile engagement with the music. The vibrations of the bass guitar and the crashing cymbals will be felt as much as heard. In larger venues, look for the middle ground: not so far away that you lose the intimate feel of the music, but not so close that you’re jostled by the energy of the mosh pit. These middle-ground spots usually offer the best compromise between sound quality and personal space, giving you a comfortable vantage point from which to take in the sonic spectacle.

Death from Above 1979's live performances are both an aural and a physical experience. Their complex, layered sound is best appreciated in a live setting where you can not only hear but also feel the music. The visceral quality of their songs, delivered at maximum volume with plenty of bass, makes for a concert experience you won't easily forget. Whether you’ve been a fan since their initial underground days or are a recent convert, seeing them live is a rite of passage. Just remember, the quality of your experience can significantly hinge on your seating. Take your time, pick wisely, and prepare to be blown away.
