Fanny Alger w/ Pavlov

Fanny Alger w/ Pavlov

If you’ve been in Skagit County long enough, you’ve most likely heard of the local band Fanny Alger. They are the longest running band here in the valley, established in 1997.

There are lots of words to describe Fanny Alger, but the two most prominent words that come to my mind are ENERGETIC and FUN. (Picture jumping up and doing splits in the air while playing the guitar). If Fanny Alger had a mission statement it would read something like “in constant pursuit of fun by amusing ourselves with our childlike mentalities …. and we’d be happy to relieve you of 10% of your gross income”.  Everything these musicians do is for the amusement of each other. Fortunately, they share their quirkiness with the rest of us.

The first time you attend a “Fanny Alger Revival” (not show or performance …. it’s a revival), you may be a little confused, but you will definitely be entertained. Their revivals can consist of things such as beer witching, financial advice, snakes (rubber), faith healing and mind reading. If you’re lucky, you might also see a Yeti out grooving on the dance floor.
