Kid Koala

with DJ Jester the Filipino Fist

April 28, 2008

7:00 pm

The one and only Kid Koala is coming to Club Congress for a rare show! This one IS going to be super packed! Kid Koala: artist, composer, master mixologist, vinyl deity, and all-around Mr. Amazing has been keeping himself really busy the last couple years. Solo albums, appearances with many other artists and has made major contributions to Deltron 3030, Gorillaz, Lovage and numerous other bands.

Here is a description of Kid Koala’s latest album Your Mom’s Favorite DJ:

Kid Koala is now on the road supporting his newest album on Ninja Tune, “Your Mom’s Favorite DJ.” On this record he shows that his chosen means [the turntable] is used not as a way of showing that he can do faster crabs than anyone else, but as a way of telling stories. Although there is the romance, silent movie comedy and swing that your mother may well smile at and even shake her booty to, the enthralling deftness and complexity you’d expect from Kid Koala is also here - woven together with classic hip hop beats, breaks and generous swathes of heavy guitars

Check out this amazing animated video.

Supporting Kid Koala is DJ Jester the Filipino Fist.

One of the hottest DJ’s around right now, he has been touring with the likes of Of Montreal and Grand Buffet and MGMT (hot damn!). DJ Jester has gotten big love (not hype, there’s a difference) from Spin, GQ, The Wire, Paper Magazine, Future Music, Flyer Magazine, CMJ New Music Monthly, Turntable Lab, Pitchfork, XLR8R, Metro.Pop, URB, Beautiful/Decay, Tokion, Mixer, Hyphen, Giant Robot, Signal to Noise, While You Were Sleeping, Pulse!, Scion, Backwash, New York Press, Badazz Mofo, Blaze Magazine, The Village Voice, The Asian Reporter, Williamette Week, The Stranger, The Portland Mercury, Grrl Scouts: Work Sucks, Houston Press, San Antonio Express-News, 210 SA, San Antonio Current, The Paisano, Austin American-Statesman, Austin Chronicle, and the Dallas Observer.

PHEW! That’s a lot of shout outs.
