Algiers at MENT Ljubljana!
Only a few days after announcing Young Fathers will be performing on the first evening of MENT Ljubljana, Ljubljana’s winter festival surprises with another new and exciting act, Algiers. Hailing from Atlanta and now divided between New York and London – vocalist/guitarist Franklin James Fisher, bassist Ryan Mahan and guitarist Lee Tesche were joined by ex-Bloc Party drummer Matt Tong in 2015 –, Algiers have quickly established themselves as one of the most politically outspoken and intense live bands of today. Their second album "The Underside of Power", released by Matador Records in summer 2017, took their unique, intense blend of raw post-punk, dark electronics and passionate gospel soul to the next level.
