Algiers w/ Retconned, Culture Thief

Algiers w/ Retconned and Culture Thief Saturday, June 16th 8PM. $10adv/$12dos 18&up

ALGIERS is a doom soul band from Atlanta, Georgia, where W.E.B. DuBois saw a riot going on, and where hell and highwater swirls ‘round to the knees. 

Their second LP on Matador Records, The Underside of Power, shouts down oppressors as it twists work songs and soul motifs around post-punk, noise and sledgehammer beats.

RETCONNED

Synthpunk in the vein of Suicide, Primitive Calculators, The Screamers. Retconned’s early material combined the primitive, minimal wave melodies of Martin Rev or Dark Day with digital noise, aliasing effects, and confounding, neuraesthenic vocal performances. Later material became increasingly instrumental, somber, and saturated, and began to take on aspects of kosmische and drone.
