Shameless family plug right here right now. First off, it's my sister, Kate's, birthday today, so EVERYONE leave a comment and wish the lass a swell one! And what better way to give her a little gifty than with some free publicity, eh?


Kate is the "K" in KMBS, a music/art collective that is swiftly making it's name on the forefront of the indie/folk rock/art fusion scene prevalent in lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. Their music is lyrically powerful and musically arranged to the utmost beauty. Pairing vocals, guitars and cello, alongside live art that takes place during each performance, these shows are not to be missed.

You can stream all sorts of delightful tracks here. (I HIGHLY recommend the song detrevortni...read the song title backwards...genius!) Or check out some of the finished performance art pieces here.

And while we're at it, give a listen to their extremely RAD cover of Missy Elliott's One Minute Man. And yes, Kate DOES perform Trina's rap to sheer perfection.
