Alex G and Porches headlined a sold out concert at Union Transfer last Thursday. The show came on the tail end of a nationwide tour with Kansas’ Your Friend. All three acts toured in support of albums released in the past year.

Porches brought out introspective dance tunes from their February release, Pool,  which treads upon new territory for Aaron Maine’s genre-bending project.

Following Porches, Alex Giannascoli made his return to Philadelphia for the first time since playing Everybody hits during the Kat Kat Phest in December. He had an energetic set that concluded with an encore in which friends of the band danced on stage and Giannascoli played “Change,” a fan favorite.
