The fire burns at Kung Fu Necktie tonight when El Fuego, self-proclaimed “rock and roll fuck ups”, bring their vibrant, caliente melodies to one of our favorite watering holes. While the guitars rage on in heated fury, the keyboards and female vocals help help cool the burn. And since they just recently finished up an EP that’s on the verge of being released, you’ll be sure to hear some hot new jams. They’ll be joined by The MLMs, who are fronted by Grammy nominee and learned jazz musician Ben O’Neil, The Nonstop Mint, and Cold Fronts. O’Neil has worked with mainstream heavyweights like Common, Christina Aguilera, Musiq Soulchild, Erykah Badu, and Cee-Lo so expect some mass ear appeal. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $5, 21+ – Bill McThrill
