(Sandy) Alex G

Alex G (Alex Giannascoli – not to be confused with singer/songwriter Alex G) just released Beach Music… his seventh full-length album, and his first Domino release. He’s obviously not used to recording in a studio, saying, “I was

Alex G

with Hatchie

at First Avenue

first-avenue.com

Alex G (Alex Giannascoli) is probably the most famous musician you’ve never heard of. We saw him in April 2016 and mentioned how confusing his stage name was: “Philadelphia’s Alex G (Alex Giannascoli) and Porches were co-headliners, but Alex G closed out the night. The main problem with him is that he shared the same name as pop girl singer Alex G and producer Alex Greggs – who often use Alex G as credit…. Although, doing research on his name, apparently he also goes under as Sandy Alex G, but the billing was simply listed as Alex G for this show.”

Having said that, he has such a cult fanbase. A few years ago we went to see 100 Gecs, an ad for an Alex G showed up on the screen and literally every young people at the show went absolutely nuts, clapping and hooing.

Hatchie will open the show. We like Hatchie, having just saw her in May 2022 and wrote, “With Hatchie’s new album Giving the World Away (Secretly Canadian) out now and we heard the songs performed live, it would seem that she’s mixing shoegazing elements with a little electronica dance. She mentioned that she was inspired by St Etienne, and even Kylie Minogue, so perhaps Giving the World Away might be her most accessible album yet.”
