I took my oldest kid to see a guy he's been listening to for over a year now. I've been looking for tickets for the last six months or so and the only dates on the calendar are opening for Foo Fighters in California this summer. Turns out one of his producers died unexpectedly and they held a two day benefit concert for him in Philly this past weekend, so we say Saintseneca, Hop Along, and headliner
Alex G at a small club in Northeast Philly. Great show, really enjoyed seeing my boy at his first ever concert and being able to provide that experience for him.
Hadn't heard of him until your post so I checked out some of his music - liking what I've heard so far.
Coincidentally, he's from the next town over from where I live.. not sure how he managed to fly under the radar locally.
I don't get many dad wins lately, but SPHERE FOR THE FUCKING WIN!!!
I just heard about and bought the last copy of a limited-edition vinyl pressing of the live recording from this show, my kid's first concert. He seems to appreciate how epic this is (he blew up my phone when he discovered it). Damn I would sever an appendage to get a vinyl copy of my first Tool show at the Electric Factory.
Hell to the Fuckyeah!

Description
Alex G announces 'Live from Union Transfer', a limited-edition vinyl-only live album. The album features live renditions recorded over the course of Alex's three sold-out hometown shows at Philadelphia's Union Transfer that capped off his 2022 fall headlining tour in November 2022; the 14-song track list includes much of his universally acclaimed 2022 album 'God Save the Animals' as well as a selection of favourites from his past catalogue.
*upon further inspection it seems this is the same set list, same venue, but recorded months before at the end of his tour. Our show was a one-off benefit concert several months later. Slightly less epic but still a solid 10/10 for my kid. Taking the W.
The devil made me do it the first time, second time I done it on my own - W
