Evil Sword aids in accelerating the weirdness this evening at Kung Fu Necktie. Kate Ferencz‘s vocals and the mile-marking bass lines create a playful, haunting scenario. Those theatrically twisted tales narrated by Ferencz march through the narrow alleyways, gathering a following with its minstrel harkening bells and whistles. An eerie, tormenting backdrop taps at your door as the rhythm infiltrates your head, demanding participation; subconsciously, you’ll follow. Tonight, the space-altering, electro-synth soundscapes of Hallowed Bells provide a dreamy mind-cleanse needed as the week ends. Touring in support of their fresh full-length Songs from the Shoebox, The Snails headline churning enthusiastic rockers, peppered with precise, free-flowing instrumentation and soulful, etching vocals. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 7pm, $14 (Sold Out), 21+ – Michael Colavita
