Inzinzac Opening for Ruins (Alone) at KFN May 1

Naming your venue something as quirky as Kung Fu Necktie is a promise to concertgoers that they’ll be in for something off the beaten path. Tonight those who make their way to our beloved watering hole are in for just that, as local natives Inzinzac bring their free jazz ruckus in support of drumming virtuoso Ruins (Alone). With drummer Eli Litwin’s remarkable ability to keep time, guitarist Alban Bailly and saxophonist Dan Scofield let it rip, allowing their compositions to grow organically, and though it may sound chaotic, Inzinzac’s jagged compositions have a definite logic that would make John Zorn proud. Their knack for improvisation keeps things unpredictable, and often leads to jaw-dropping displays of skill. Aggressive, dynamic and wild – Inzinzac are sure to put on a show that’ll please the art crowd and fans of bands that know how to shred their instruments. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $8, 21+ – Adam Downer
