Albert Allenback: Tank and Bangers
Albert Allenback, well known as the tall, lovable, goofy flute and saxophone player in New Orleans’ beloved Tank and the Bangas, is up to some serious stuff these days. Albert released his first instrumental solo single under the moniker Alb the Builder. Earlier in 2020, his duo project, SaxKixAve, in partnership with rapper extraordinaire Alfred Banks, came out with an EP, a line of merch, a bunch of videos and teasers for what’s to come. With Tank and the Bangas, Albert recorded the EP Friend Goals, dove into dozens of writing sessions and intimate performances and built up an archive of songs that will end up on a full-length release, sometime in 2021. Albert has also dipped his hand into producing several acts, this past year, and with the cache of artists in his corner, this could be the start of whatever he dreams it to be.
