Feeling Good in a Somber Way w/Hello Shark at KFN June 3

Burlington transplants Hello Shark have found their way to Philly, and we are happy to welcome them with open arms. Linc Halloran delivers quirky lyrics and vocals that find spaces filled with reminders of David Byrne and the Violent Femmes. Hello Shark’s songs are oddly beautiful, making me feel good in such a somber way. Keep your attention on these guys, and make sure to check out their albums, HS and Break Arms, which are both available via Portsmouth, NH indie record label and book publisher Burst & Bloom. Co-headlining the evening will be psych-punk outfit Seismic Thrust and Chicago power-popsters Clearance. The Clint Squint, which is made up of member from Time Hitler and the Assholes From Space, will be kicking the night off. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 Front St., 8pm, $5, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
