School girls Mercedes Lander and Fallon Bowman met in gym class and said, "let's
play together!" And thus, Kittie was born. At least, that's how legend has it and it's not that far from the truth. Four teenage
girls with a love of heavy metal, a desire to prove naysayers wrong and a passion to rock, formed the hard sounding metalesque
quartet in 1997, while still in high school. One part glam rock and one part death metal, the women of Kittie signed with
the Ng Records-distributed Artemis Records after a stint of playing covers of Nirvana, Silverchair and even Corey Hart. By
the time indie record producer GGGarth had gotten ahold of their demo, they had graduated from teen-pop to pushing their sound
up a notch along the likes of L7 and Godsmack. The full-length Spit, showcasing their incisive sound, was released late in
1999. Paperdoll followed a year later. In 2001 they released Oracle, their second full-length, followed by the Safe EP, which
featured six live tracks, two versions of the title track and an enhanced video of three cuts from a different live show.
2004 saw the release of Until the End |
