California’s Young The Giant is currently on tour in support of their highly anticipated third studio Home of the Strange (Fueled By Ramen). The album has already hit No. 1 on iTunes Alternative chart and top 3 overall when it was recently released.



Ra Ra Riot will open the show. The band’s latest album Need Your Light is available now on Barsuk Records.



We previously caught the New York band earlier this April 2016 at the Triple Rock Social Club, which we described as “a bit of an orchestral feel to them due to the violin and cello but at the same time, it’s nothing short of great dancing music. It didn’t matter what song they were playing, the crowd reacted the same way and was unable to stand still.”

PORCHES

We caught Porches at the 7th Street Entry in April 2016 and described their frontman Aaron Maine as “a charismatic young singer”.



Maine is back at the 7th Street, this time, as headliner and bringing Japanese Breakfast and London’s Rivergazer. We caught the former in July 2016 and noted that Michelle Zauner’s “songs were chilling yet up-beat. At times Zauner’s voice was haunting and beautiful and other times you could really hear her punk side come out as she screamed into the microphone.”



Japanese Breakfast’s debut album, Psychopomp is out now on Yellow K Records (not to be confused with K Records).
