about

Like so many of our musical heroes; Nina Simone, John Coltrane, Theolonius Monk; Franklin James Fisher was born and spent the first couple of years of his life in North Carolina. We had played several shows there over the years, but this was our first time to Asheville. Ryan and Lee’s previous band, The Partisan, has some famous (or infamous) tour stories revolving around several show mishaps around the city years prior, but that is another story entirely. This show came during that fateful week when the pandemic went from cautious optimism to full blown quarantine. It the span of 48 hours we went from planning routing and support weeks in advance to playing a final night in our home town and ending the tour. This was the night before, the night when we were beginning to realize that things were going to be very different. Franklin was convinced that this was going to be our last show (we played one more the following night in Atlanta), so he really went for it in front of the small group of people that could be counted on two hands. They decided that they still wanted to come out and danced like crazy in front of the stage. From the sounds of the random screaming in the background, Ryan was really going for it too.

about

Algiers Atlanta, Georgia

Algiers is a band of musicians born in Atlanta, Georgia, the rotten hub of the Ol’ American South, where W.E.B. Dubois once saw a riot goin’ on, and where the hell and highwater swirls ‘round to the knees.
