one day Killshire & Archbold were listening to the Electric Eels and were full of disgust & joy for their lack of talent; they armed themselves with cymbals, synths and large amps and, in the summer of 2001 in the fine city of Austin, called themselves Coma in Algiers. despite the arrival of the police and the threats to the public, this partnership lasted until Archbold decided to sell all the equipment for his disastrous move to NYC. Killshire followed soon after, much to the same results. second verse same as the first. in 2005, they decided to revive their need to scare the neighbors. with three new additions in Esteban, Johnny, and Jefe, the die was cast and in 2006 the band started playing around town. after a year of sweaty shows, a busted truck (now officially dead, rip) and lots of Lonestar, an album, This Is Your Justice was recorded in the summer of 2007 and released in October of the same year. unfortunately, Esteban, everyone’s favorite drummer, decided it was time to seek his heritage & fortunes on the plains of Spain. we wish him well. Cramer stepped into the role with aplomb, and like a bad sitcom we carried on into the new season. 2008 was the year we displayed the utmost in wanton disregard for wanton disregard. look for the new album Your Heart, Your Body, arriving spring of 2009. we are thriving and supple.

The caustic, circuit-fried cacophony of Coma In Algiers splits a few diodes with early industrial naifs like Cabaret Voltaire, but it’s the Austin group’s flat-palmed approach to genre-mashing—and keyboard playing—that makes it stand out in town. more at austin.decider.com
