Algiers is a London/New York band of musicians from Atlanta, "the rotten hub of the Ol’ American South," according to their official bio, "where W.E.B. Dubois once saw a riot goin’ on, and where the hell and highwater swirls ‘round to the knees." I have not heard or heard of them before, but I'm pretty impressed. Post-gospel, anybody?
Actually, as I dig a little deeper into their biography, it seems we may have crossed paths at least once before. Back on September 13, 2012, Algiers' guitarist Lee Tesche played with Atlanta's Lyonnais at 529, who were opening that night for Blues Control. I was there (dude), but can't honestly claim that was anything close to seeing Algiers (although it was a great show).
