Chris Forsyth will be celebrating tonight at Kung Fu Necktie the release of his third solo album Paranoid Cat and first for record label Family Vinyard, which drops on Tuesday, March 29 and features guest appearances by emerging artists Mike Pride, Nate Wooley, and Koen Holtkamp, among others. You probably know him primarily for his work with experimental trio Peeesseye, and this evening he has assembled the Paranoid Cat Band, whose members include Mike Pride, Peter Kerlin, Don Bruno, and Hans Chew, to help him bring his latest effort to fruition in a live setting. Below is a track from the album called "New Pharmacist Boogie (For Jack)" for you to check out, which was inspired by the late, great local guitar hero Jack Rose who was a close friend and collaborator. Tonight’s lineup will also include a solo set by D. Charles Speer (a.k.a. Dave Shuford), Pigeons, and Vapour Theories (a.k.a. Mike and John Gibbons of Bardo Pond) as well as DJ Max Milgrim spinning tunes throughout the evening. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 Front St., 8pm, $8, 21+ (Photo by Peter Davidson) – Alexis V.
