BLK JKS
Tuesday, 06/09/2009@ 8PM
What: Blk Jks (pronounced Black Jacks) sound like a high-school mixtape sent through the washer: Smears of punk and metal are interrupted by Jimi Hendrix-inspired guitar explosions. Then it's all spun through layers of home-brewed dub and soul, at times sounding like a mix of TV on the Radio and Vampire Weekend. These guys are from South Africa and just signed to Secretly Canadian.
Where: At Kungfu Necktie 1248 N Front St (Front & Thompson - A Block From Girard Ave El Stop - Fishtown)
Cost: $10|21+
