My Father was (he recently passed away unfortunately 😢), 100% Berber Algerian (Berber meaning 100% Native of North Africa/Algerian 0% European or Arab). My Mother is mainly Lithuanian (which is Eastern European close to Russia and also a little German, French, etc...). I have been told by lots of people I look Hispanic (Puerto Rican, Mexican, Brazilian, etc), Samoan (I get that one A LOT! 😂), Hawaiian, Italian and even "mixed" which in North American Urban cities (the ghettos) means half white and half "black" (meaning Sub Saharan West African where the majority of the current "blacks" in North America ancestors were taken and enslaved from in countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo, Liberia, etc). So, I'm basically a chameleon (the beautiful "lizard 🦎" like creature that literally changes colors and adapts to it's environment no matter where it is! My skin tone changes throughout the year(s) and seasons, when the weather 🌡️☁️ is ❄️ cold in the Winter months my skin becomes "pale" due to lack of sunlight and I appear more "white" and in the hot Summer months when it's very hot and humid outside I get lots of sunlight 🌞😎 and I tan very easily and become very dark and can almost appear "black" but mainly "Hawaiian/Pacific Islander like". It's awesome! I love what my parents have blessed me with physical wise! Anyways, sorry for my super long post/reply but I love these type of discussions and such. Oh and I have very long hair which is pretty dark in color (a mixture/coloration of black/dark brown and even an orange/"reddish" coloration that is likely from a combination of both my parents genetics and the few times that I've dyed my hair "red" but came out orange from not using bleach dye on my hair and also from the constant sunlight 🌞 I got on my hair every Summer time throughout my life, so it's a very unique (and beautiful) coloration and it's also very long in length (well past my shoulders!) And is very thick/curly/"nappy (ish)" and can change in appearance due to the weather and even time of year! I'm also 6 foot 4 inches tall (the tall height and weight coming from my large sized Mother and relatives on her side of the family!) and depending on the time of year can be anywhere from 240 to 270 pounds! I'm a very tall/big and long haired fellow that can blend in with just about any race which is so awesome in my opinion! Okay, my post/reply is much too long as it is but I LOVE these cool subjects. Much love to you all and enjoy your morning/afternoon and evening/night no matter where you are and when you end up reading this book 📚📖/novel of a post! Hahaha 😂😎™️🏝️💟💕❤️💕🏜️🏝️🤯🔥💯🙉🙊😸♥️🖤💜💙💚💛👀🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹 (Both the Algerian and Lithuanian flags 💯💛💚♥️). Two very different but both beautiful countries and people/cultures! Unity for all!

Yeah I spoke to Franklikn in the merch line when i saw them with Young Fathers. I felt terrible because i could only pay for one shirt and I'd been listening to Young Fathers a bit longer, and I'd gotten into the algiers line on accident XD That said, I told them it was one of the most powerful shows I'd ever seen and i would get their shirt ASAP, and since i was there i couldn't help but ask Lee Tesche about his split-headstock aluminum-neck guitar, apparently its a Frankenstein situation, i think one of the mosrite or eastwood bodies and the neck was from someone known for their metal construction who i forget now. Regardless, i was quite heartened that the question i had asked half-on-accident out of embarrassment was met with a friendly retort from a fellow guitarist. Amazing band and a seemingly great group of people!

More Matt Tong is always good with me. Looking forward to the album!

Motown is one motive (director´s point). Works like shit for me and I love Motown. To my eyes this is directored shit. "Do motown, with guitars, and some black guys, and.... wait for it... something that will get banned (meaning the music is "dangerous" and kids will flock around it) a nazi symbol". Whoever is in charge of this video is a person to be quickly dismissed. The individuals of the band are likely great performers but the vision of where to go is wrong.

I was almost hoping that Algiers would not do any new music because the debut album was so perfect and how can you top perfection, right? The answer is The Underside of Power.

I remember sitting with Frankie at GSU in our room where I crashed on the couch. Both obsessed with Ok Computer and Kid A and Jeff Buckley. It's so awesome to see what he's up to now. Excited for their new album.

New Algiers is *_exactly_* what I need in my life right now. The record's gonna fuckin' rule, I can already tell.

This masterpiece is criminally underated

Wikipedia : "They chose the name Algiers in reference to a key historical site of anti-colonial struggle, symbolizing a contested space where violence, racism, resistance, and religion commingle" I guess they felt that the Algerian revolution and resistance symbolizes they're band's message.

Just heard this song for the first time at the barber shop. The barber assaulted me but it did not ruin my enjoyment of this song!

This past Saturday, I saw two of the members of Algiers at the bar that I frequent and had a conversation with one of them. They just came in for drinks . Very chill dudes!

2 years on and they did actually play together....

That mixture of rock, gospel, punk and blues as well as the message kind of reminds me of Living Colour.

They're like New Order reborn, they just can't be categorized, nor their next move predicted. Just a solid mix of different genre's best bits

Its great honour to start this respectful group in da world by the name of big hystorical capital. This thing very hard to my capital and letting the ppl through da world hear bout this big country thank you algierz band thank you all who reads my comment ...one two three viva l'algerie💓

I've been stranded and paid to die on the side of the road I've been shot just because my heart I've lost the times I've been bought and sold I've been the victim of golden eyes I've seen the dead walk among the living In division, what's stripped away is made the same on the other side Because I've seen the underside of power It's a game that can't go on It could break down any hour I've seen their faces and I've known them all Once I vanished to reappear as an object of love I've been ripped from the inside out And then delivered in the hands of the devil I've been convicted of ancient crimes And made to drift from Hell to treason In division, what's stripped away is made the same on the other side Because I've seen the underside of power It's just a game that can't go on It could break down any hour I've seen their faces and I've known them all We're on the wrong side of the power It's a shadow It's just a fire thrown across the wall Hold on Standfast Stay strong Change is coming on One day a change is gonna come Because I've seen the underside of power It's just a game that can't go on It could break down any hour I've seen their faces and I've known them all We're on the wrong side of the power It's a shadow It's just a fire thrown across the wall Because I've seen the underside of power It's just a game that can't go on It could break down any hour I've seen their faces and I've known them all

Old school 🔥🔥 Big respect from Algeria

I saw these guys live on Saturday night at the Grog Shop in Cleveland - prefaced by Mourning (a) Black Star and followed by !!! - all great performances and a really smartly curated show. Algiers was incredible - started out with Walk Like a Panther from their new album. They dedicated "Cleveland" to Tamir Rice (God bless that young boy's spirit) and preached a bit about police brutality and oppression. The Underside of Power was a standout song - FJF's vocals are sooooo powerful, and the brotha's got some James Brown/Prince moves on-stage to boot. What impressed me most outside of their noise-rock experiments (!!!) live was their camaraderie - they all were patting each others' backs and checking with each other during all the shows and when i talked to each of them, they made sure to ask my name and thanked me for coming and supporting them. Matt Tong's accent was great, and Ryan Mahan even gave me a hug. These guys are righteous and groovy - i wish i knew them in real life. Go Algiers Go!!!
