Look who just happened to pop up at the Kid Sister / Honor Roll show in Oakland last night!

Kid Sister is on the road rocking shows and stealing hearts, come check her when she hits your town!

More dates will be announced soon, don’t forget to pick up Ultraviolet on iTunes, Amazon or the FG Webstore (where you can also cop Kid Sis tees - separate or bundled with the CD - and other golden goodies.) Ticket presale links after the jump. (more…)

The video clip is very short (ha!) but you can just read the rest of this MTV News interview with Travis Barker and A-Trak about their new “Travis x A-Trak” live project, which will be warming up in LA with Kid Sister and Rob Roy before coming to Austin with the whole Fool’s Gold crew and more.

Check out this 5 Chicago interview with hometown heroes Kid Sister and Cajmere, whose collaboration (under Cajmere’s Green Velvet moniker) “Everybody Wants” is one of this winter’s funnest tunes. Cop it at Beatport or iTunes.

Kid Sister was the guest on renowned Chicago public radio critic-palooza Sound Opinions this past week. Topics include the ups and downs of making Ultraviolet, rap dating, and musical theatre. Yessss! Download the whole show here (right-click and save as) or stream it here. After the jump, some more video from the studio booth. (more…)

Kid Sis teamed up with People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals for this new PSA campaign. Check the video here. Puppies!

Fans of Food Gold, couscous, live performance: tune into IFC Tomorrow (Tuesday 12/22) at 11pm EST for the newest episode of cool kid cooking show Dinner With The Band featuring none other than Kid Sister and Flosstradamus!
