Before dance music became a genre unto itself, there were bands like APB — Scottish post-punk architects who fused funk, soul, and electronic rhythm in ways that still sound fresh decades later. Formed in Aberdeen in 1981, APB were among the most inventive acts on the early-80s underground circuit, drawing comparisons to Gang of Four and the Pop Group while carving out a groove-heavy sound that was entirely their own.
APB comes to Daryl’s House in Pawling on September 10, 2026. For fans of the era who know the band’s work on On-U Sound and their beloved Shoot You Down album, this is a genuine event. APB has never been a band that dilutes what they do for a mainstream audience — they play for the people who know, and the people who know are passionate.
Daryl’s House has earned a reputation for booking artists whose legends are larger than their mainstream profiles — acts where the room fills with devotees rather than casual concertgoers. APB is exactly that kind of booking. Expect a tight, rhythmically relentless set that reaches back to the band’s foundational recordings while demonstrating that the fire hasn’t dimmed.
The show starts at 8:00 PM. If you have any connection to the early 80s post-punk and funk underground, this is required attendance. Tickets through TicketWeb.
