Downtown Sound: New Music Mondays - Kid Sister with Konono No. 1 July 19, 2010

The popular series, Downtown Sound: New Music Mondays, co-curated by At Pluto LTD, returns to Millennium Park for a second summer, featuring an eclectic mix of music discoveries, cutting-edge indie rock, pop bands and rock veterans.

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
