Kittie Plan Extensive US Tour
Band Photo: Kittie (?)
America will get its first taste of female metal band Kittie's new lineup as the band hits the road this spring in support of its latest material, which was released in the form of a downloadable EP entitled "Never Again" on February 7 through Rock Ridge Music.
"After a year hiatus we are more than ready to begin this tour in April and show the world what we have been up to and prove we are stronger and more focused than ever," said vocalist/guitarist Morgan Lander. "This tour will rock!"
The Never Again Tour will give audiences their first glimpse at the band with new bassist Trish Doan and guitarist Tara Macleod joining Kittie mainstays Morgan Lander (guitar/vocals) and Mercedes Lander (drums).
"Never Again" features Kittie's most mature work to date, with the band throwing out all preconceived notions and writing from the heart.
"Never Again" will be available everywhere digital tracks are sold. iTunes will offer an exclusive 4-track version of the EP which includes bonus track "Everything That Could Have Been."
Kittie has sold more than a million records since the release of its debut, "Spit," 2000, which was followed by 2001's "Oracle" and 2004's "Until the End," with several EPs in between.
Between wrapping up a tour in late 2004 and beginning work on new songs, the Lander sisters kept busy by finally bringing their dream of creating a clothing company into fruition. Poisoned Black was launched in September 2005.
Direct support on the Never Again Tour will be provided by a variety of bands playing in different regions. Some of the bands slated to play are Seemless, Five Bolt Main, Twelve Tribes, Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Agony Scene, Bloodlined Calligraphy, Byzantine, Dead To Fall, Donnybrook, Calico System, Burning Armada, Job for a Cowboy, Naos Project, Jacknife, and On Broken Wings.
"With great bands and our most talented line-up to date, the Never Again tour will be amazing," said Lander.

Wow.
I havent been left speechless in a long time....Kinda funny too.
That actually bothered me more than the guy who came into the ER with half his face sliding off from a bottle wound in a bar fight.....
Thats rock bottom....Like as rock bottom as that homeless old lady masterbating on ebaumsworld.....
Puts things in perspective though if your having a bad day....It can't be any worse than that....Accept maybe getting shot in the face by the vice president.
Yeah Kittie suck and yeah they're better than where they started off from....but as Beavis or Butthead once said "You cant polish a terd."........And you sure as f*** can't get any nastier than tubgirl.

Thanks all....
I'm not prone to mindless Kittie bashing (They at least try.....They could have taken the much more plush route Evanescence took) but they just lack a creative mastermind.....And if Morgan Lander is "IT" then this band will never meet more than a luke warm reception....Critically or commercially.
I think the fact that Lander can sing well, roar better than most female vocalists and play a decent rhythm guitar should make her a "key player" but the band lacks anyone with a real understanding of metal or someone educated in music.
This band was bottle-fed Nirvana and Silverchair when they were in gradeschool....That is not a top shelf pedigree for metal intensity or complexity.....The lyrics suck too.
It's sad too, cus the a faint glimmer of potential comes out of this band about two songs per album.

I say it again... You people are idiots... Some. I just find it funny that one of the hardest working bands out there in the metal community is getting so much sh**.
Their first album SPIT absolutley blew in my opinion. I just hate nu metal, and that is what it mainly consisited of. Now they have some beautiful sh** along with brutal moments. The technicallity is better as well.
Give the new stuff a chance... I bet a lot of people will at least not mind it.
