Rock Out to Kid Sister and Flosstradamus

Plus the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Daley Plaza and Baroness at Reggie's

FAMILY AFFAIR: Chicago native Kid Sister plays the House Of Blues with her brother Josh "J2K" Young and the rest of Flosstradamus. Rob Threezy and Green Velvet will also be on hand.

X-MAS LIGHTING: Bonnie Hunt and Mayor Daley have at least two things in common: They both are tough on Rod Blagojevich and both will appear at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Daley Plaza. Due to budget cuts, this year's tree will be a smaller, but the event should be more fun than October's Olympic host-city announcement. Washington and Dearborn; Loop. 4 p.m. Free.

METAL HEADS: Progressive metal group Baroness bring its medieval-tinged melodies to Reggie's Rock Club in support of their latest effort, "Blue Record." Openers include Earthless and U.S. Christmas. 2105 S. State St.;Near South Side. 8 p.m. $12 in advance or $14 at the door. 17 and older.
