Chicago, IL – Kilo Kai Rum, the new spiced rum that launched in Wisconsin March 10 will host a launch party in Milwaukee at “The Moct,” 240 E. Pittsburgh Ave, on Sunday, April 20, from 9 pm to 2 am.

The party is a private, ticketed cocktail party and music event, but tickets will be free and available through Milwaukee area bars and clubs that carry Kilo Kai as well as through some promotions between now and April 20.
“Take No Prisoners Milwaukee” will help launch Kilo Kai Rum in the Milwaukee area. Available in Wisconsin as of March 10, consumers can now buy Kilo Kai at Milwaukee’s top bars and restaurants. Launched in Chicago and throughout Illinois in October of 2007, Wisconsin is the first stage of an expansion that will make the new rum a national brand by the end of 2008.

Kilo Kai’s popularity has been in part due to its affiliation with music. The brand recently made national headlines after it was featured in the 2008 GRAMMY® Awards Gift Bag. Kilo Kai has sponsored numerous music events featuring artists such as The Bouncing Souls, Wu-Tang Clan and The Supersuckers. “You will hear about Kilo Kai mostly through bartenders, musicians, waiters and others connected to nightlife, culture and hospitality,” said Brad Trayser, president of Apostrophe Brands, the Chicago-based Kilo Kai importer. “Kilo Kai is the rum you will drink when you have decided taste is more important.”
Flosstradamus
Chicago’s Flosstradamus describe themselves as “2 DJs, 4 turntables, and lots of people getting buck on the dance floor.” Unabashedly proud of their Midwestern roots, Daytrotter.com said “Flosstradamus make nights fashionable and have been doing so with great success, packing clubs left and right.” Their unique sound of hip hop, house and rock beats gained them a spot on the main stage at 2007 Coachella. The DJ duo is often associated with rising rap superstar Kid Sister (whose older brother is Flosstradamus’ J2K). Both Flosstradamus and Kid Sister have signed with influential Brooklyn record label Fool’s Gold which was founded by Kanye West’s DJ, A-Trak. After taking the Chicago music scene by storm, they have spent the last year performing at various venues across the U.S. and Australia. For more details visit www.myspace.com/flosstradamus.

Dirty clubs, dive bars, and sweaty house parties provided the band with a perfect place to throw their Do-It-Yourself style events. Asher "Diamonds" Gray is half of the Milwaukee based party duo The Glamour and the founder of 24Carat Design. For more details visit http://www.myspace.com/diamonds.
