There isn’t much going on in Kittie Land. But, here is a picture of Morgan with producer and good friend Siegfried Meyer.

2018 saw the release of Kittie’s Origins/Evolutions documentary and the White Swans ‘Touch Taste Destroy’ EP.

I promise I’ll be more present in 2019 and keep the website up to date with goings on of Kittie. Fingers crossed they will give us new music again next year.

Happy New Year Kittie fans!!

The SAFE EP was released this day in 2002 (November 19th). I remember buying this online – one of my first ever internet purchases.

One review by Christian Hoard said:

Kittie have gotten better in the last year: This seven-track EP continues their ascent from the dungeon of death metal and into the realm of chic goth rock, complete with piano, electronic grooves and, of course, a healthy dose of sludgy thrash.

Congratulations to Ivy & Geoff. Baby Melina was born Tuesday October 23rd.

Meet Malina Jenkins! She was born October 23, 2018 at 3:38 am, after 27 hours of labor for Ivy (whoa), at 18.5″ long, weighing 7 lbs 6 ounces.

Good luck with the recovery Ivy and enjoy those precious moments of staring at your newborn daughter 🙂

Kittie’s debut album ‘Spit’, released 1999, was featured in Kerrangs ’21 Greatest Nu-Metal Albums of All Time’. 

They ranked it as number 16.

For better or worse, nu-metal marked metal revolution in many senses. Even still, it never proved capable of breaking down the boys-club of old. One excellent exception to that rule was Canadian all-female outfit Kittie. Built around the core duo of sisters Morgan and Mercedes Lander – who were 17 and 15 respectively on this debut LP’s release – the Ontario quartet traded in a pulse-quickening combination of snarling riffage and punkish attitude (a blend of Korn’s heaviosity and the Riot Grrrl attitude of Hole and L7) and lyrics dealing with sexism, hatred, ignorance, betrayal and bullying. Song-titles like Suck, Spit, Get Off (You Can Eat A Dick) and Do You Think I’m A Whore bristle with unequivocal provocation. That fits perfectly.

Congratulations to Mercedes and Stephen! They got engaged in early September. (Announced September 10th, my own parents wedding anniversary).

Best of luck and wishing you so much happiness in the future.

THE WHITE SWAN have released American tour dates for their ‘TOUCH TASTE DESTROY’ EP.

And also check out this phenomenal live version of Touch Taste Destroy

The White Swan will release their new EP ‘TOUCH TASTE DESTROY’ on September 7th.

Tracklisting:

01. Touch Taste Destroy
02. Pelvic Sorcery
03. Inamorato

Revolver has released a list of the top 20 essential nu-metal albums. Kittie’s ‘Spit’ is at lucky number 13.

Kittie’s core sister duo of Morgan (vocals, guitar) and Mercedes Lander (drums) were just 17 and 15, respectively, when the band dropped its breakthrough debut album, Spit, which made brash, no-holds-barred songs like “Do You Think I’m a Whore” and “Get Off (You Can Eat a Dick)” all the more shocking and hard-hitting. Nearly 20 years later, the group’s take-no-shit attitude, primal playing and mix of little-girl sing-song and I-am-woman roars aligns them as much with Nineties riot-grrrl firestarters like Babes in Toyland, L7 and Hole as it does nu-metal.

The White Swan have a few upcoming shows:

July 27th @ Coalition: T.O. Toronto, Ontario.
