Interested in helping a local band in making a full-length album? Then learn how in style as The National Rifle have a preview party for their Kickstarter Campaign at Kung Fu Necktie tonight. The band will be stepping into the studio with Brian McTear of Miner Street Studios to record their first LP that is set to be released at the start of 2012. Like many independent artists these days, The National Rifle are turning to Kickstarter for the much-needed help and will surely have some pretty interesting reward incentives. They will also use this evening’s showcase to share some of their new material with their supportive friends and fans. The National Rifle will be joined by Brooklyn’s Backwords and The Powder Kegs, who will be performing what will most likely be their last show for awhile. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 7:00pm, $8, 21+ – Bill McThrill
