You You Dark Forest Steps Out Into the Light at KFN Jan. 25

For close to three years You You Dark Forest has been establishing itself by playing some ear-catching ambient instrumental rock. The quartet has been able to strengthen the forged bond that brought them together, and its sound has evolved through the new material that they have been working on since the start of the winter. Tonight, the band will be stepping out into the light at Kung Fu Necktie, and with this evening’s performance being the group’s first show of the year, it’s very likely that You You Dark Forest will be unveiling a bunch of new tunes. And they’ll also be joined by indie-rock trio Bone Bats and Janelle. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $6, 21+ – Bill McThrill
