Static Mountain enters Kung Fu Necktie this evening amid a flurry of activity. The quartet’s freshly released eponymous debut touches on a variety of musical directions from casual harmony-infused pop-rock to heavier, uptempo fuzzed-out guitar licks that give off a psychedelic grungy vibe. The band (which includes former Lightninging members Matt Williams and Greg Foran) seems to generate polished steady rockers that have a tendency to escalate toward high velocity. Static Mountain will be joined by hard-hitting trio Hound, whose addictively heavy aggression-laced garage rock is a runaway train of power and snarly attitude. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $8, 21+ – Michael Colavita
