We speak with Ryan Mahan of the band Algiers ahead of the first show of their US tour right here in Kingston at Tubby's on Friday September 10 at 8pm. Since forming in 2012, Algiers have put radical politics forefront in their genre defying music, and we discuss the challenges of making political art, the importance of contextualizing this work, and their efforts to build radical consciousness among music workers with the Union of Musicians and Allied Workers.
