Local producer/musician extraordinaire Jeff Zeigler is part of a lineup tonight at Kung Fu Necktie thriving on sonic manipulation. Zeigler orchestrates layers upon layers, developing a complex atmosphere/soundscape that remains airy and calming. In that adventurous space, your mind is free to wander in a discovery-oriented meditative state, shedding the daily wear for temporary solitude. The dreary, creaky-floor psych-pop of Scott Churchman creeps into one’s head with haunting intensity that’ll make you look over your shoulder knowing nobody’s there. Following suit, Chicago’s Dash Lewis, a.k.a. Gardener, plants the seed of psychedelics with moody doses of ambient synth. The heavy impending ominous tones of Asheville, North Carolina tandem, Lunar Creature, takes violin in a psych-folk direction, and rounds out this mind-warping bill. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $6, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Footwear, the latest EP from Cyberbully Mom Club, is a cavalcade of thoughts set to an acoustic backdrop. It transplants that mind-wandering internal monologue out into the open for all to hear, while still occupying that intimate bedroom vibe. The stream of consciousness harmonizing wordplay wraps around your mind in a maze of emotion. Cyberbully Mom Club performs alongside SALES and Abi Reimold on April 7 at Johnny Brenda’s.

Philly emcee/producer Tunji Ige teamed up with local natives Ben Pramuk and GrandeMarshall and Brooklyn born/Atlanta-based Wara From The NBHD for their smooth, unrelenting single, "Moving." It was recorded in NYC at Red Bull studios. The track is the latest release from Rare MP3s‘ weekly spotlight series.

Former Pearls and Brass drummer Daughn Gibson is back with another genre-jumping single called "Shatter You Through." It’s off his forthcoming album Carnation, the follow-up to 2013’s Be Moan. The LP was produced by Randall Dunn (Earth, Tim Hecker, etc.), and is scheduled for release this June via Sub Pop.

The pop-punk trio of Krispy Kareem celebrates the release of its EP Cadillac with a performance tonight at Baker Bowl. The group’s vibrant loose style offers a light accessibility that’s easy to gravitate towards. That relaxed approach, with a dash of surf-rock sounds, translates into tunes that assimilate into ones mind in a rapid fashion. Krispy Kareem rides an amusing wave that you’ll want to catch. The melodic melancholy of Second Marriage will also make an appearance, while Pittsburgh transplant Matt Holden (Legs Like Tree Trunks) will open the night with an acoustic set of emotive math rock. Melding gut-torn melodies with instrumentation that smoothly weaves comforting packages and yet is prepared to shred and tear away at the seams, Scranton transplants Three Man Cannon headline. Tennessee’s Mouth Reader ships in thick riff-oriented garage rock jumpstarted by active percussion and augmented by psych-stretching vocals. Baker Bowl (Please contact one of the acts or venue for more info.), 8pm, $3, All Ages – Michael Colavita

Tonight’s lineup at Everybody Hits is chock-full of intriguing talent. Post-punk trio Downtown Club entices with a blend of mystery and danger, while also providing a catalyst to movement. April Harkanson delivers hypnotic, enchanting vocals over a ruminating layer of ominous sounds as guitar licks cut through the fog and a persistent percussive, keys, and bass combination continues to push forward through the night. A trio of Salinas Records artists completes this bill, including the omnipresent, heartfelt, jangly energy of Radiator Hospital, venting a cascade of emotion through bubbly, bouncing pop-punk that instantly seeps under your skin while also capable of hitting home with shade-drawn introspection. Similarly, Michael Cantor’s (The Ambulars) The Goodbye Party, which also includes Sam Cook-Parrott (Radiator Hospital), Joey Doubek (Pinkwash), Chrissy Tashjian (Thin Lips, ex-Dangerous Ponies), and Kyle Gilbride (Swearin’), places an adamant emphasis on ambience, orchestrating songs that have a dual edge – internally searching amid the personal cave, whilst occasionally catching a glimpse of bright up-tempo light and harnessing it. Baltimore trio Outer Spaces dispenses their lyrical narrative-driven pop-rock to complete this night. Everybody Hits, 529 W. Girard Ave, 9pm, $8, All Ages – Michael Colavita
