As part of their East Coast 2025 tour, The Back Alley brought their indie rock jams to Philadelphia’s own Kung Fu Necktie last night, playing for an energetic crowd. Formed in 2022, the Chicago-based band consists of members Hunter Olshefke (Bass), and Sal Defilippis (Guitar), Jaden Cone (Guitar), Ralph Porter (Vocals), and Ben Kremer (Drums).With recent singles like “Neon Jeans” and “Shaking Off the Snow,” their set mixed new material with old favorites, keeping the energy high throughout. Their East Coast tour rolls on with stops in New York (6/27), Boston (6/28), and Cleveland (6/29).
