Algiers

[HoTWire]

Did anyone else see Algiers?  They had a pretty small crowd for what was (to me) the best performance of the festival (Sharon Van Etten a close second).  Phenomenal stuff really, I would hope they are invited back next year and given a more prominent billing.

Absolutely phenomenal set from Algiers. Shame they didn't have a larger crowd. Excellent band.

Yes amazing set! Think it was my first time seeing something in the Leftfield. Shame the crowd was so small.

I love Algiers, clashed a little bit with BC Camplight for me but as soon has he finished on Williams Green I legged it over to Left Field. Thought they were terrific and can't wait for the new record.

Shame the crowd was so thin and spread out, I think you could sense the band's disappointment (especially the bass/synth player, he looked pretty pissed off when they left the stage).

I can see why they put them on Left Field but perhaps a slot on the Truth stage at 1am or thereabouts would have been a better place for them.
