The Charlatans delivered a lively, confident set at Union Transfer in Philadelphia last night, with Frankie Rose opening the show. The performance mixed songs from the We Are Love era with the melodic indie-rock sound that has defined the band’s long career. The intimate venue and enthusiastic crowd made the night feel like a strong return to Philadelphia for the veteran British band. The Charlatans conclude their US tour Saturday night at Brooklyn Steel, grab tickets here.
