Armand Hammer, Quelle Chris, and H31R at Bowery Ballroom
On Thursday, November 16, 2023, New York City’s Armand Hammer performed a sold out show at Bowery Ballroom in support of their newest album, We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, that is out now on Fat Possum Records. The show was a part of their tour which was called “We Buy Diabetic Test Strips: The Physical Experience.” Silka performed a short set as well before Armand Hammer took the stage.
The duo were joined by H31R (JWords and Maassai), who released their new album the following day, and Quelle Chris, who brought out special guest Cavalier during his set. I covered the show for Impose Magazine and the full gallery is now available on their website here.
