The glorified lo-fi indie rocker Alex G has been up to a lot this year. He only recently finished a Spring/Summer trek in support of 2017's acclaimed Rocket, but he recently revealed new tour dates which includes a UK jaunt in the late summer and a North American trek in November with pop musicians Half Waif.
The North American dates will see the Philly multi-instrumentalist hitting up major cities like Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Austin, Orlando, Washington, DC, and a one-off date in Brooklyn on December 14th for a very special show that will feature support from the recently reunited, lo-fi influencers Duster and Girlpool's Harmony Tividad.
Before Alex G signed to Domino Recording Group, he built his audience through a series of DIY releases on Bandcamp. His sixth self-released album, DSU, was amazingly featured as Best Album of 2014 by Noisey, Consequence of Sound, The Washington Post, Vogue, CMJ and Time Out. The 25-year-old has since released two albums with Domino, Beach Music and Rocket.
During his tour earlier this year, Alex heavily focused on played cuts off the new album, with "Brick," "Proud," "Poison Root," and "Sportstar" being the most popular. He also played "Bug" and "Kicker" off of Beach Music consistently, as well as plenty of selects from those aforementioned DIY releases. An average setlist for young Alex hits around 16-tracks a night, and if you're lucky, you may get to hear him do a cover of "Drive" by Incubus.
The new North American dates kick off November 1st in Toronto, Ontario, and wrap up November 18th in Boston. Check out the complete dates below.
