BLUE STAGE // SUNDAY NOVEMBER 8TH // 9:00PM
Kid Sister is from Markham, IL but currently resides on Chicago's north
side. She makes club rap and works at a children's clothing store
slanging bibs and teething rings. Yes, her DJ (J2K of Flosstradamus) is
her real brother, and yes that does rule. Together they're taking the
Chicago music scene by storm, rocking parties and causing all-around
dancefloor mayhem.
Kid Sister was just picked by Spin Magazine as one of the 12 "Must-Hear" acts at this year's Fun Fun Fun Fest.

FUN FUN FUN FEST ANNOUNCES
ON SITE ACTIVITIES AND ATTRACTIONSWHO: Now in its fourth year, Fun Fun Fun Fest has made a significant impact on the country’s winter calendar, successfully combining the vast worlds of indie, punk, rap, electronica and comedy while showcasing some of the city’s most unique local businesses. It is the most relaxed, laid back and (yet) progressive festival in the marketplace today, a true urban event in the middle of downtown Austin.
WHAT: In addition to Fun Fun Fun Fest’s outstanding musical line-up, the
festival will also host an array of activities to keep fans busy
between sets. Fans can check out the festival’s mechanical bull, skate
ramp, live screen-printing, photo booth, Flip cam interviews, API
poster show, band merchandise and food and fashion from some of
Austin’s favorite local businesses.
Fun Fun Fun Fest has partnered up with Under Pressure (www.handsonscreenshop.com)
to give festival attendees what they deserve: an opportunity to design
their own FFF T-shirt, hoodie, bandana, tank top, or anything else they
can come up with. Under Pressure will also be selling a limited
addition FFF poster print. The API poster show will highlight various
accomplished poster artists from across the United States, who will
present posters on Fun Fun Fun Fest artists and others.
Fun Fun Fun Fest’s skate ramp will be rolled out by Find N Grind Skate Shop, (www.myspace.com/findngrindsk8shop),
one of Central Texas' finest skate shops and crews. This year, they
will host a post-apocalyptic skate session with a custom "coffin
extension" on the ramp, facing the black stage in honor of the great
one, Glenn Danzig.
Food and fashion will abound, as some of Austin’s favorite local
businesses set up shop on festival grounds, including: Frank, Woodland,
Spanish Village, Ruby’s BBQ, Snowie, Parlour Pizza, Mambo Berry, Tiff’s
Treats, Boomerang’s Pies, Zen, Austin Cornucopia, Prototype, Bird’s
Barbershop, Toy Joy, Big Rig Vintage and Shyana Gifts (glass pipes).
Austin non-profit organizations the SIMS Foundation and Health Alliance
for Austin Musicians (HAAM) will also be on hand at FFF to raise
awareness of their causes benefiting local musicians.
*Early bird, student discount and VIP ticket packages for FFF 2009
have all sold out. Because of the limited capacity of the park, music
fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets early to ensure entry.
Tickets can be found at local Austin record stores and at www.funfunfunfest.com/store. For more information on the festival, visit www.funfunfunfest.com
