| Algren Farewell Show | 11/29/2009 10:30 PM |
| After much consideration and deliberation, Chicago rock band Algren has decided to call it quits. The split is completely amicable and we remain close friends but the time has come to go our separate ways. We had a great run and will take a load of wonderful memories with us. We appreciate the support, friendship, and love you have given over the years and would like you to celebrate with us once more.
Algren will play a farewell show on Friday, November 20 at Elbo Room, our favorite and most frequented venue, where we always feel comfortable and play like there’s no tomorrow. We will be performing with our good friends and fellow Chicago Noise Machine members 72 Hours.
