Alex G Hometown Record Release Show at The Fire Aug. 17

After touring the country for nearly a month in support of his new LP DSU with Orchid Tapes labelmates Elvis Depressedly, Alex G, a.k.a. Alex Giannascoli, will be coming home this evening to The Fire to finally celebrate its release with friends and fans. The humble, lo-fi songwriter has been quietly winning critics and fans over with his mix of grungy yet delicate melodies and introspective, obtuse lyrics. We chatted with him earlier this year when he won The Deli Philly’s Year End Readers’/Fans’ Poll. (You can check out our interview HERE.) Alex G will be joined by Elvis Depressedly, who may not be anymore soon so you don’t want to miss this one, Cold Foamers, and Snoozer. Heads up – it’s an early all-ages show brought to you by The Guild! The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave., 7pm, $10, All Ages – Alexis V.
