Daryl’s House sits on Route 22 in Pawling — a Hudson Valley room with a direct line to one of rock’s most storied names. The intimate venue connected to Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates fame has built a reputation for booking acts that reward the drive, and this September it delivers something genuinely worth the trip: APB, the Scottish post-punk funk trio who quietly influenced a generation of bands and never quite got the credit they deserved.
About APB
APB formed in 1979 in Ellon, Aberdeenshire — about as far from the New York underground as you can get — yet somehow their single “I’d Like To Shoot You Down” became a fixture in NYC dance clubs in the early 1980s. The Beastie Boys’ Ad-Rock called it a “punk dance-floor classic.” That single detail tells you everything about the gap between where APB started and where their music landed.
The original three — Iain Slater on vocals and bass, Glenn Roberts on guitar, and George Cheyne on drums — built a sound that pulled from Bootsy Collins and George Clinton as readily as from the Buzzcocks and The Clash. Spare, rhythmic, with just enough funk to keep the floor moving and just enough edge to keep it interesting. Their reach extended further than their fame: Red Hot Chili Peppers and Franz Ferdinand have both been named as bands shaped by APB’s approach.
After reforming in 2006, they released the mini-album Jaguar in 2011 and have kept touring since. Songs like “Shoot You Down,” “Palace Filled with Love,” and “Chain Reaction” still land the way they always did — kinetic, stripped down, built for a room exactly like this one.
The Venue
Daryl’s House is in Hudson Valley just off Route 22 in Pawling — connected to Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates and operating as one of the region’s most distinctive intimate live music rooms. Doors open at 5:00 PM, which gives you time to settle in well before the 8:00 PM start.
