Kid Sister Releases Mixtape For Free

Tweet

The music of Chicago's pride and joy Kid Sister has been a fixture in clubs and parties all over the world by virtue of a trademark swift and smooth delivery with her sassy tongue always firmly planted in her dimpled cheek. Touring incessantly since the release of her 2009 compilation of new tracks and previously released singles Ultraviolet, Ms. Sister found the time and inspiration to concoct a new single "Kiss Kiss Kiss". This track is the centerpiece on the new mixtape (courtesy of Nick Catchdubs) and, by the way, is absolutely free with the submitting of an email address above. Highlights of the thirteen track party starter include the Green Velvet collab "Everybody Wants", the big beats on the Laidback Luke remix of Do!Do!Do! and the old skool feel of "Don't Stop Movin'". To reiterate: Listen to and download "Kiss Kiss Kiss" below and grab the entire mix above. For free, for realz.

Purchase Ultraviolet here.

Kid Sister - Kiss Kiss Kiss

Free Summertime Indie Concerts On Mondays In Millennium Park

The Pritzker Pavillion in Millennium Park is truly a beautiful space with unparalleled sound for an outdoor arena. Now, don't get me started on how much the entire park cost the future of Chicago or that it was ultimately a prestige project leveraged by our Mayor-for-life King Daley in a unprecedented half-assed bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Now that I got that off my chest...

Since I, my children and their children's children are paying for it, I may as well enjoy it. In the past, the Pritzker Pavillion has featured critic darlings such as The Dirty Projectors and The Decemberists. After looking at this year's list, I think the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs may have set a new benchmark in cool and launched what may become a Chicago summertime tradition.

They are calling it New Music Monday. Covering sounds from punk, pop, alt-country, gospel, electronica, neo-tropical, space-rock, Afrobeat and hip-hop, this is a unparalleled collection of quality and variety this side of your $150 summer festival set. I think my Monday nights from late May to July are pretty much set.

Check out the Millennium Park website for details.
