Kittie

Kittie (stylized as KiTTiE) are a Canadian heavy metal band formed in London, Ontario in 1996. They have released six studio albums, one video album, four extended plays, thirteen singles and thirteen music videos. The band chose their band name to be "Kittie" because the name "seemed contradictory".

Kittie formed in 1996 when Fallon Bowman and Mercedes Lander met in gym class. Morgan Lander became the lead vocalist and one of Kittie's guitarists and Tanya Candler completed the band's lineup on bass. After signing to NG Records, Kittie released their debut album "Spit", which was certified gold by the RIAA and sold at least 600,000 copies in the United States. The band released "Oracle" in 2001 and "Until the End" in 2004. In 2005, Kittie parted ways with Artemis Records and created their own label. The band released "Funeral for Yesterday" in 2007 and signed to E1 Music in 2009. The band released "In the Black" in 2009 and "I've Failed You" in 2011. In 2014, Kittie made a documentary as a 20th anniversary of the band.

Kitty (1929 film)

Kitty is a 1929 British drama film directed by Victor Saville and starring Estelle Brody and John Stuart. The film was adapted from the 1927 novel of the same name by Warwick Deeping and marked the third co-star billing of Brody and Stuart, who had previously proved a very popular screen pairing in Mademoiselle from Armentieres (1926) and Hindle Wakes (1927).

Kitty was initially planned and filmed as a silent, but on its original completion Saville decided to reshoot the latter part with sound. As no suitable facilities were yet available in Britain, Saville, Brody and Stuart travelled to New York to shoot the new sequences at RKO Studios. The film was released in the form of a silent which switched to sound after the half-way point.

Plot

In pre-World War I London, handsome young aviator Alex St. George (Stuart) meets and falls in love with shopgirl Kitty Greenwood (Brody). He asks her to marry him, to the horror of his snobbish, class-bound mother (Dorothy Cumming), who is appalled by the notion of her son marrying into a family who run a tobacconists shop. Before the wedding can take place, war breaks out and Alex is called up to serve as a pilot.

Biography

Born August 1st (year unknown), Kitty started drumming in elementary school, but stopped in middle school. She was storing her drums at a friend's house, but the friend's mom didn't like all the equipment taking up room, so she arranged for another friend to hold on to it. Unfortunately, that friend thought it had been given to them, and ended up pawning it. Years later, while attending the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, she ran intoJimmy Urine, whose band, Mindless Self Indulgence, had shows booked but no drummer. She then offered to play for them (using a borrowed kit) until they found a permanent drummer. Later she was offered a chance to play with MSI permanently, and started playing again. When returning the borrowed drum kit, the owner let her keep it. A boutique drum shop built a custom fit, jazz-sized kit, which she used for years until she obtained a Pearl sponsorship in 2008. Kitty plays an acoustic drum kit (In "Evening Wear", the steel drums) which is augmented by backing tracks consisting of sampled "loops" for the live show. She uses Pearl drums, Zildjian cymbals, Pearl hardware, Evans drum heads, and Pro-Mark sticks. She is one of the original members of MSI.
