McGlinchey, who is funky and waltzy like a modern-day Dr. John. 8 p.m., Dawson Street Pub, 100 Dawson St., 215-482-567. ➤ Canadian rockers based out of Toronto, Wildlife is a post-punk, similar-to-Modest-Mouse band that puts on larger-than-life performances. 7:30 p.m., $8-$10, Kung fu Necktie, 1250 N.
