MUSIC: ALEX G Philly-based singer-songwriter Alex G, whose music has drawn comparisons to Elliott Smith, first caught Pitchfork’s eye in 2018 as a standout new artist. Alex Giannascoli (his real name) gained a cult following through self-released bedroom recordings from 2010 to 2012, and now boasts more than eight million monthly Spotify listeners. Today, with nine studio albums and a slew of EPs and soundtracks, his discography is as expansive as his live performances are unpredictable. Known for erratic stage antics and confessional lyrics, Alex G’s shows are a captivating blend of manic energy and profound simplicity. 7 p.m., $29+, House of Blues, concerts.livenation.com. –Gabriela Rodriguez

ARTS: NEON LIGHTS We don’t get out to the Punk Rock Museum as often as we should, y’know? All that amazing musical history; all those lived-in, banged-up, sweaty artifacts; the in-house bar that serves up Cuba Libres in an empty Pringles can. Fortunately, on August 23, there’s an excellent reason to pull on your Chucks and pay a visit: Neon Lights: Images and Objects Inspired by Popular Counter Culture, a group art show co-curated by Eric Beehn and James Peterson, featuring works by JW Caldwell, Alex Garcia, Sam King, Darrel Morris, Paul Nudd, Sean Slattery, Tef Wesley and Beehn. The show description doesn’t give us much—“Images that trigger the sublime and the subversive, just like the music we preserve”—but the artist lineup promises to be a visual riot. Grab a Pringles can and leap into the pit. 6 p.m., free, Punk Rock Museum, thepunkrockmuseum.com. –Geoff Carter
