KITTIE: GENESSEE COLLEGE ROCKFEST Appearance Cancelled

November 6, 2006

Canadian all-girl metal band KITTIE has issued the following update:

"We regret to inform all of our fans in the upstate [New York] area that our show at the Genessee College Rockfest this Friday, November 10th has been cancelled.

"The band was asked to play a few weeks ago by representatives of the college, but attempts to contact them after the invitation was extended were met by silence. We finally were informed that they had no idea KITTIE was to be playing their show and there was some sort of communication breakdown that lead to much confusion on their part. Someone obviously overstepped their boundries by inviting us to play and then back pedaled at the expense of our fans and our band.

"We apologize profusely for this cancellation, but unfortunetly that is what we get for dealing with unprofessional people. Apparently the same thing happened to DISTURBED a few years ago at the same college, which resulted in the same sort of miscommunications and ultimate cancellation."

As previously reported, KITTIE has set "Funeral for Yesterday" as the title of its new album, due on February 20, 2007 via the group's own Kiss of Infamy record label. Check out the cover artwork at this location.

KITTIE's new CD was recorded at Retromedia Studio in Red Bank, New Jersey with producer Jack Ponti, who has previously worked with BON JOVI, SKID ROW, and ALICE COOPER. Songtitles set to appear on the new album include "Never Again", "Funeral for Yesterday", "The Change", "Breathe", "Last Goodbye", "Slow Motion" and "Flowers of Flesh and Blood". The band recently finished mixing the effort with producer Kevin Shirley (IRON MAIDEN, DREAM THEATER).

KITTIE's downloadable EP, entitled "Never Again", was released in February through Rock Ridge Music. iTunes is offering an exclusive four-track version of the EP, which includes the bonus track "Everything That Could Have Been".

KITTIE has sold more than a million records since the release of its debut, "Spit", in 2000. That album was followed by 2001's "Oracle" and 2004's "Until the End", with several EPs in between.
