Kodiak Park Got That Rock ‘n’ Soul Thang at KFN July 13

Kodiak Park has got that rock ‘n’ soul thang goin’ on. In the group’s debut singles, you’ll hear a band building on a sound that could bring them to larger rooms. With frontman Jon Panasak’s charismatic vocals and a suave-sounding backing unit, Kodiak Park is hinting that radio-friendly psych-pop is alive and well in Philly. They’ve already teased that a new single, "Holy Ghost," will be unveiled this evening at Kung Fu Necktie. You’ll also find Miami’s Heavy Drag (who I definitely am feelin’), Brooklyn’s Such Hounds, and Philly’s own R.R. Perkins in the mix. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $6, +21 – H.M. Kauffman
