Tonight, Cherokee Red kicks off their fall East Coast tour this evening, alongside a triad of local acts, at Kung Fu Necktie, armed with a fresh set of tapes via Magic Death Sounds for their new single “The World is My Oyster, You’re the Pearl” released today. The song captures a tight folk-pop unit and slips naturally on a fall-oriented rotation with its warm electric guitar leads, the natural ease and delivery of its yearning vocals, and the balancing, drafty percussion. It’s a song that, much like the band, subtlety builds layers of sound. The now seven-piece Circadian Rhythms, whose “In The Flowers,” has teased that the group’s A Passing Thought EP should be excellent with its bright folk/R&B blend. With blends on the mind, Boarding School does just that incorporating male and female vocal harmonies with a minimalist sound that somehow injects drum machine. The lo-fi, avant-pop of Mariah Welch will be opening the festivities. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $8, 21+ – Michael Colavita
