Lo-fi garage duo Sunny Ali & the Kid are swinging by recently reopened Connie’s Ric Rac tonight. Ex-PO PO Hassan Ali and drummer Abdullah Saeed make up this country tinged garage fuzz project that creates punkishly minimalistic jams that get in, tear through a room and get out leaving you wanting more. Their recent Deli CD of the Month Try Harder is delightfully bratty, undeniably catchy and over way too quickly, but it is very easy to replay constantly. The band shows their teeth with songs like “I’m a skinny fucker” while just as quickly showing their soft side that is reminiscent of fellow local Kurt Vile, with “fuck me”, and they even cover cheesy dance hit “Better off alone” by Alice DeeJay! I didn’t know I could like that song! The brevity of this band is one of their strong points and many bands could learn a thing or two about “cutting out the fat” of their songs. Make sure to get out to the show early and don’t blink, you could miss these guys entirely. Connie’s Ric Rac, 1132 S. 9th St., 8pm, $7, 21+ – Adam G.
