ALBANY – Alive at Five sprung back to life while the city used the Thursday night to celebrate its LGBTQ community on June 9.
An animated crowd accentuated two energetic sets; first from opening act Youth Culture, followed by headlining act State Champs. The crowd gathered early and was whipped into a fervor off the jump, shouting out lyrics and non-stop crowd surfing up to the stage.
