Illinois from Bucks County, Pa. (wait, what?) will be headlining Kung Fu Necktie tonight. With stabby beats, soothing vox, and the prolific songwriting skills of Chris “Arch” Archibald, the group has the power to correlate with the mood of any audience member with their audibly varied songs. It’s been quiet in the Illinois camp over the last couple of years or so due to continual lineup changes, but the band seems to be coming out of hibernation as of late. They’ll be joined by Former Belle, the moniker used by Bruno Joseph, who recently transplanted himself to Boston to work on the demos for his next release Cathedral, and New Platz, NY’s Breakfast in Fur. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Brandi Lukas
