We covered Kiss Kiss's last record release, when they put out Reality vs. the Optimist and we have good news: they still bring the awesome. Their newest release, , due out July 7, is just as hyper-kinetic and jarring as their first effort. The differences? Well, there's a more calculated organic approach.

Kiss Kiss bassist Pat happens to be the brother of my good friend and house-mate Chris and, while I have yet to see them perform live, Chris tells me it is an event that no one should miss. I heard the new album via ITunes and their music is fucking brilliant. They go from near-System of a Down intensity to sweeping, epic interludes and back again in minutes. It's the most original stuff you'll hear this year.

We submit, not much. And check it out, there's one going on tomorrow, Saturday the 21st! It's The Clark Park Picnic and Mid-Fall Music Festival, and it's happening in Clark Park's lower bowl at 43rd and Chester in West Philly from 11:30AM-7PM. Like we said, the event is free, but if you shell out $20 you can also get access to an all-you-can-eat barbecue featuring food and beverages by some of Philly's most skilled chefs, with part of the proceeds going to improvement of the park. "Blah blah blah," you're saying, "but who's playing?!" Well, a number of Philly locals, for one. Early acts include Adrienne Hamilton, The GetArounds, and Kiss Kiss Kill. DJ Joey Prajna will be spinning records between acts from 1PM on. The later, bigger acts include Paul Edelman and the Jangling Sparrows, Adam Arcuragi, Himalaya, Enon, and King Britt. We're particularly excited about Enon, because they rock. Anyway, for more info check out UCityPhila.org, ClarkPark.info, or call 215-243-0555.
