After exploding onto the national music scene with the hugely popular single “Pro Nails” featuring Kanye West, Kid Sister’s (Chicago’s own Melisa Young) star has been on the rise. With the release of her album, Ultra Violet, and her new single, “Day Dreaming”, featuring Cee-Lo, her first hometown show of the summer is without a doubt a can’t-miss. http://kidsistermusic.com
The internationally renowned Congolese street band Konono N°1 ushers in a distinctive change of pace to Downtown Sound with its powerful, ‘junkyard sonics.’ The group’s new album, Assume Crash Position, recorded in Kinshasa, DR Congo, is due out in May. http://www.myspace.com/konononr1
