And just like that, we're up posting again. (Thanks Josh! Nice track from late October.) Today's post comes from Dutch band Labasheeda, who got in touch with IKDK back in June with a heads up that their album Changing Lights was out. Although it's taken us a somewhat embarrassingly long time to get around to reviewing it, we're digging the sound of this album. Check out the title track below. Thanks Saskia et al.!

Algiers - Blood

After another long absence, we are back with an excellent song from Algiers. You simply must see them live if you have a chance -- I caught them in concert and thought it was best live show I have been to in some time. The band members are all very down to earth and humble. Frankly, I was surprised the audience was not larger, given how great they sounded.

Looks like they have one show left in their current US tour before they head to Europe at the end of the month (see http://algierstheband.com/live).

Enjoy! Catch them the next time that you can. And hopefully the next IKDK post will be coming soon...

Benjamin Booker - Violent Shiver

Long time, no see IKDK followers! Although I have been following Benjamin Booker's energetic music since last summer, I have not had a chance to see him until his current tour. Among other venues and cities he will be playing Chicago's Metro on March 28 and Toronto's Lee's Palace on March 31. He comes to us by way of Florida and New Orleans. Definitely a hot talent to watch.
