What began as a studio project and exercise in collaboration between songwriter Dominic Angelella and producer Ritz Reynolds has blossomed into a live performing four-piece band. Dragon King will be headlining an early show tonight at Kung Fu Necktie performing their genre-hopping tunes driven by Angelella’s learned, dynamic guitar work and assisted by the bombastic bass lines of Ms. Julie Slick. They’ll be joined by good pals (and sibling) Eric Slick (a.k.a. Dr. Awkward) and Brendan Mulvihill (a.k.a. Keith Birthday) who have combined forces to make up freak folk outfit Norwegian Arms. Also on the bill are Saratoga/Brooklyn’s experimental popsters Railbird led by the lovely vocals and songwriting of Sarah K. Pedinotti. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 7:30pm, $5, 21+ – Alexis V.
