The Great Vibration Album Release Party at KFN April 16

The South Philly boys of The Great Vibration might not make the Richter Scale go off the charts or create any pulse flinging beats with their songs. But Jumboman, Pablo, Big Spliff Dawg and Evernasty do deliver some vibrant and colorful rock anthems that are fueled by catchy guitar riffs and the occasional piano. Tonight they’ll be celebrating the release of their new album Purple Stuff at Kung Fu Necktie with the help of Mountjoy who will have you climbing your way towards twanged out rock ‘n roll that’s heavy on the percussions and guitar hooks. Meanwhile, songbird Julia Rainer will bring it home with her PJ Harvey like sound during songs like “Insomnia” and “Into the Night”. Their will also be an after-party at The Carriage House for all those who are just getting warmed-up when KFN’s 10pm band curfew hits. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 7pm, $8, 21+ myspace.com/thegreatvibrationBill McThrill
