Tonight will be good chance for you to support the arts by coming out to Kung Fu Necktie for “Jerry Lewis’ Birthday, A Little Berlin Benefit”. Little Berlin is a rad artist-run collective and gallery space located in North Philly. “Proceeds from this event will go directly to helping the organization remain open and able to cultivate creativity in the Philadelphia community.” Sure, I’m always happy to help out a good cause. But what I’m really excited about is the rare live performance by Brooklyn/Philly gloom pop masters Mammal of Paradise who will be headlining. If you’re not familiar with Mammal of Paradise yet, it’s a new project from the guys of Bucks County’s Aderbat. They had a couple of fine-ass full-lengths in Rabbits and Rocks and We Belong to the Sea that were produced by Andrew Weiss (Ween, Akron/Family, Henry Rollins Band), who also joined them again on their latest endeavor. Mammal of Paradise have their debut self-titled album available here. Check out below a couple of my favorite new tracks, “Hey Mister” (which needs to be remixed over and over again) and “Anyone’s Song” (an achingly beautiful slow-burner)! And I hope to see you this evening! Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
