What’s yellow and white and coming to America tonight? KK Downey, of course!

He’s the JT LeRoy-inspired mystery man at the heart of Who is KK Downey? the first full-length feature from Kids in the Hall-esque sweethearts of the Montreal movie scene, Kidnapper Films. Since its release last year, the movie has garnered acclaim and prizes from Toronto to Tours, France, and got an on-air plug from GURU-approved host of The Hour George Stroumboulopoulos.

FUN FACT: Cast member Dan Haber (Frankie Lola) can be seen in the GURU Energy Drink testimonials at the top of this blog!

To celebrate the American launch of the Who is KK Downey? DVD, the troupe is going to be at Pianos NYC tonight for drinks, shameless self-promotion and live music from Apache Beat. But will the hipsters in attendance outdo the hipsters in the movie? Only time – time and miles and miles of plaid and mustaches – will tell.
