Get bloody and bruised tonight at Kung Fu Necktie with locals Heavy Medical and Nothing supporting Toronto’s Metz (Sub Pop). It’ll be an evening where you’ll travel through the land of noise rock, float in a cloud of shoegaze, and go full throttle into a wall of flesh with some Canuck punk. Yeah, I’m hearting on Metz these days so I’ll see you in the pit. Fuck yeah! Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Alexis V.
