From the ashes of indie-pop outfit Frost Watson, vocalist/guitarist Mike Stoloski and drummer Jeff Myers have forged a strong friendship and musical bond. But it was when they joined forces with bassist Frank Abruzzo to form Ma Jolie that they played the fast-paced, hard-hitting melodic punk that put them on the map. Since 2012, the band has released two impressive full lengths and a 7", played jam-packed DIY shows, and gone on big tours with the likes of The Menzingers and Cayetana. But right before 2015 comes to a close, the power trio will be playing their final show at Kung Fu Necktie tonight. Joining them on their last hurrah will be some of the bands that they’ve made key friendships with on their journey: This Is Jazz, The Joint Chiefs of Math, and Banquets. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front S., 8pm, $5, 21+ – Bill McThrill
