Jawn, the iconic Philly slang descriptor for anything and everything (thanks, Urban Dictionary), is the perfect word to summarize the tight musical mash-up that’s gonna happen once The Jawns (the band) takes the Kung Fu Necktie stage tonight. The group’s snazzy jazzy cavalcade features members from the Extraordinaires, Arrah and the Ferns, the Armchairs, Nico’s Gun, and Virtual Virgin, who was last seen rocking Adobe Café into a fervor during the Aquarius Prom. And tonight’s show is going to be especially eclectic since they’ll be joined by the City Music Project, the Frank Cervantes musical hybrid blending tradition with electronic swing via DJ Golden Spiral. Toss in the pulse pounding electronica of Negative Department, and you’ll find yourself with plenty of reasons to wear your dancing shoes to this jawn. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., $5, 7:30pm, 21+ – Bill McThrill
