Lightninging Strikes at KFN Sept. 9

Humorously named Lightninging can create some loud rock ‘n’ roll, but yet aren’t afraid to pull back the reigns and show a little more of the introspective side to their songwriting abilities. The combination of Mark Cruttenden, Greg O’Neill, Dave Pope and Matt Williams swap vocals and instruments like guitars, bass, percussions, and even a trumpet while drummer Greg Foran remains the steady backbone of the group. But let’s be honest. The guys are really more about having fun on stage. They’ll be headlining an early show at Kung Fu Necktie tonight so swing on by and get rowdy with the band and their fans. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 7pm, $8, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
