Tonight Indiana transplants Arrah Fisher and Carl Stovner, who makeup the original core of Arrah and the Ferns, will be providing some local support to Austin’s Oh No Oh My. Having performed together for the first time at an open mic in December 2005, Fisher and Stovner instantly experienced that “lightning struck fingertips and songs were born from anxious little hearts of 20-year-olds.” Now, a little older and wiser – they’ve continued their musical journey in our much beloved creative hotbed Philly and have found some new friends/“ferns” [which also includes Ryan Belski (The Divine Lorraine)] to help bring their infectious upbeat indie pop to fruition giving us the shimmering release of 2010 sleeper All the Bad in One Place. (You can check out their recent music video for “Slim 5” from the album below.) Also on the bill will be Fulbright Scholarship winner and minstrel Brendan Mulvihill with his freak folk project Norwegian Arms (who has a new 3-song EP Trimming of Hides available for FREE download HERE) and Bensalem’s CowPals. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $8, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
