Keyboards sprinkle across the landscape in a playful whimsical daydream sort of manner. Then sun-kissed vocals creep into the picture. A single voice that is quickly accompanied by the drums creating a marching beat, and gradually the duality takes on the appeal of a crowd as if the voices have echoed a call that beckons for others to follow. Begging with the simple idea of a small gathering, it takes on a magnitude of its own. Tutlie is that harmless thought that when given space gains strength and therefore becomes more than you initially envisioned. The xylophone sounds, which at first seem nostalgic and almost novelty-like, play off the keys in an eerie yet comfortable way. The vocals, which are gentle and inviting, morph taking on a level of seriousness that is highlighted by the backing of the instrumentals. At first, the sun is bright, but blink your eyes, and a storm will appear on the horizon. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $12, 21+ (Photo by David Turcotte) – Michael Colavita
