PORCHES
+ Girl Ray, Cheap Fantasy
7th Street Entry
Sat 02/24/2018 (8pm/$15)
first-avenue.com
Porches is back with a new album The House, which came out in January via Domino Records. We caught the young singer on his tour for his breakthrough album Pool in April 2016 (and again in September 2016) and wrote, “New York’s Porches drew the biggest crowd of the night, thanks to his highly anticipated 80’s inspired new record Pool. If you didn’t know, Porches is the stage name for Aaron Maine, a charismatic young singer who wrote and recorded almost everything on his record in his new, tiny Manhattan apartment.”
North London’s Girl Ray to open. Girl Ray’s debut record Earl Grey came out last Summer on Moshi Moshi, and they’ve been described as a bit of Tiger Trap (and you know we’re big of Tiger Trap). This is a rare chance to catch the girl trio (Poppy, Sophie, and Iris) in the U.S., and an opportunity to hear one of the best “20 Best Pop Albums of 2017” (according to Rolling Stone).
Also, local musician Cheap Fantasy is on the bill.

Norway’s Enslaved is headlining the Cabooze on Saturday. Typical of these metal shows, there are a ton of opening band (making it worth the price of admission). Be sure to show up early to check out Danish composer and classically trained multi-instrumentalist Myrkur (aka Amalie Bruun). We caught Myrkur in April 2016 and noted, “There's no denying front-woman, Amalie Bruun's, immense talent. Her voice is flawless and beautiful….”

2x Grammy-nominated DJ/producer Steve Aoki is back on his Kolony tour, hitting the new/old venue The Armory this Saturday. We previously caught Aoki at the Epic in November 2013 and wrote, “The rest of the evening continued without any difficulties, and included the things you've come to expect from an Aoki show: transforming robots, cake, and lots of dancing. Spoiler alert, the transforming robots was the coolest thing I've seen at a concert. I didn't see it coming, when it happened, everyone around me had that "What. The. F." look.”
