Algren formed in late 2006 and hit the ground running, quickly building a strong
repertoire of alternative/indie rock songs. Known for their inspiringly
energetic sets, Algren played gigs at numerous Chicagoland bars and clubs
throughout 2007 and 2008, including highlight performances at Double Door, Cubby
Bear, Elbo Room, and the Downers Grove Heritage Fest. The band is quickly
building up a devoted fan base with the help of various media outlets, such as
Q101, 97.9 The Loop, Fearless Radio, the Red Eye, Rock Chicago on CANTV-19, and
The Local Tourist. Algren is also a member of Chicago Noise Machine, the
consortium of local bands that also includes A Birdsong Valentine, Bullet Called
Life, Echoson, Heavy the Fall, Lucid Ground, Reverie, 72 Hours, and Simplistic
Urge.
All four members are dedicated and driven musicians, performers, and promoters
looking to make a name for themselves in the regional and national market while
performing the music they love. The group just finished recording their first
full-length album, "A Wayward Sound Floods the Streets," and will release it in
early May 2009
