After a ridiculous amount of anticipation, Melissa Young, better known as Kid Sister, is finally dropping her album Ultraviolet in November via Downtown Records. In support of the record, of course, she’s headed on a tour that puts her in Portland Wednesday the 21st of this month! I first caught a glimpse of Kid Sister supporting her brother’s crew Flosstrodamus at Coachella some years ago. I remember a distinct sense of ‘meh’ surrounding her performance, but since then she’s built up hype that far surpasses that of her brother’s crew.

Truth be told, Kid Sister’s album has become one of my most anticipated records of the past few years. If the constant delays had anyone bent out of shape, I promise it was me. I even had a poster on my wall with the release date for the then titled Dream Date printed on top. Fact is, it’s been a long time coming; and if you’re like me, the slow leak of tracks from her album and promotional interviews etc. have got you pumped.

The wait is over. She’ll play Holocene Wednesday the 21st, with her Brother’s crew Flosstrodamus now supporting her. Shortly after this event, her album will arrive on the shelves. After such a long wait it’ll be excellent to see the tables finally turn.
