really freaking awesome...

sound man could've been more on point but considering it was a basement bar.

had to get Frank to get the merch guy out of the green room early just to cop the LP but I wasn't the only geek there waiting to buy one by a stretch.

spinning the LP for company right now!

Thanks Algiers!!! and thanks to the cat who put me up on this

And they are, on Tues. excited for it! Thank you

I can guess.... but do tell!

I got to the venue during the middle of the 2nd opener's set, Le Vice. They had a great sound themselves.

Algiers was incredible. I'd only heard 1 song before last night, so I was excited to go and experience it from a nearly clean slate. Loved how they'd transition from loops to live drums, and back, seamlessly. And the singer's got an amazing voice. Never over-powered despite the heaviness of the songs.

Definitely hoping I get to see 'em again. And I had to cop the album.

Saw this on Twitter, always love seeing artists showing each other love:

I went into the show with only a cursory listen to their stuff.. figured there was at least two songs on the album I was really feeling.. which is standard for most artists I dig... after the show and then listening to the LP at home a few times.. I don't think there's a sleeper on the whole album.. in fact just recorded it to wav last night so I can listen at work today...

the opening act they had out here was a solo guitarist playing really sleepy stuff over a synth track with the most terrible Casio drums.. like it literally sounded like he hit the rumba button and just went with it track after track.

I've seen them four times in the last six months (all their New York shows) and they keep getting better.

Can't wait to see what the future holds for these guys, they're really something special.
