Kung Fu Necktie boasts a dense cloud of neo-psychedelic rock this evening. The quartet of Far-Out Fangtooth (who are scheduled to release their sophomore LP Borrowed Time later this fall), play with a calculated raw edge. The guitars deliver a heavy piercing metal finish that is further reinforced by primal, forward-thrusting percussion that bashes away claiming space as it moves, and the finishing touches are the tormented vocals that emerge from the darkness guiding the menacing sounds. Far-Out Fangtooth, will be joined by hard-rocking retro outfit Ruby the Hatchet, who is fronted by Jillian Taylor displaying femme fatale force with the tight group. They’re the type of band that continuously builds momentum on stage and watch out when they hit top speed. Brooklyn’s skuzzy garage outfit The Vandelles combine a harmony-pop, surf-rock retro vibe balanced with raw grit that’s both smooth and mysterious. The cloud will grow thick by the time headliners The Warlocks cast their spell. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
