Versatile rhyme-sayer Alien Architect has a huge show tonight opening up for the legendary and bombastic motherfuckin’ Wu-Tang Clan at The Troc. Known to perform in various incarnations from acoustic spoken-word to prog-rocky full band productions, AA creates genre-bending tunes that would allow you to find him on a singer-songwriter stage like The Tin Angel or the big stage like this evening. Sharing the bill with such hip hop royalty should allow him to gain a bunch of new fans and continue to assert the depth of the Philly hip hop scene. He will also be doing a bunch of more intimate shows in the next few months, but given this opportunity expect Alien Architect to bring his A-game to the highly coveted opening slot. The Trocadero, 1003 Arch St., 9pm, $41.50 adv/$44 door – Adam G.
