Prowler Funkin’ Up KFN Feb. 4

 

 
Got a thing for funk? Prowler’s got you covered. Philly-based party people responsible for disco dance jams like “Beware Delaware” and “Ahead of the Pack” are known for heating things up in venues citywide. Since their ’08 release En Garde, Prowler’s DFA-esque backbeats and sassy lyrics have kept their fan base growing, making local favorites out of this funktastic five-piece. With vocals reminiscent of LCD Soundsystem’s mastermind James Murphy, tracks like “OK Girl” and “Spooky Pussy” mix post-punk bravado with world beat sophistication a la the Talking Heads. Set to open tonight at Kung Fu Necktie for noise-core duo Telepathe, Prowler’s upbeat anthems and high-octane rock might easily overshadow the lo-fi antics of their androgynous headliner. Dust off your dancin’ shoes, its time to get down. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ myspace.com/prowler1Dianca Potts
