Pop-psych prog artists The Fantastic Imagination, a brand new project that features members of A Sunny Day in Glasgow, Arc in Round and Pet Milk, have wasted little time in delivering vibrant fantasy jams. Songs like their debut single "It Begins" do a sound job of channeling visions of walking through Middle Earth on acid. And their debut performance last month was an incendiary cacophony of weirdness. The band is fully prepared to raise the bar when they perform at Kung Fu Necktie tonight. The evening will also feature the dreary pop of Hurry, the jangly power-pop melodies of Literature, and the New Brunswick weirdo rock outfit Honeydrum. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 10pm, $8, 21+ – Bill McThrill
