KITTIE: New Video Interview With MERCEDES LANDER Available

November 13, 2008

Mosh Army TV conducted a short interview with drummer Mercedes Lander of the Canadian metal band KITTIE prior to the group's November 8, 2008 concert at the Underground club in Cologne, Germany. Watch the three-and-a-half-minute clip below.

David Lander, the father of KITTIE's Morgan Lander (guitar, vocals) and Mercedes Lander (drums),reportedly died of a heart attack in early August. David Lander, who is said to have been in his early 50s, also managed KITTIE as part of X Of Infamy/K.M.A. Entertainment.

KITTIE recently parted ways with bassist Trish Doan and replaced her with Ivy Vujic of the Canadian band IN THE WAKE. According to a press release, Doan was diagnosed with the eating disorder anorexia-athletica-nervosa, which she developed during the recording of KITTIE's "Funeral for Yesterday", Doan's first release with the group.

"Funeral for Yesterday" — which was released via the band's own record label, X of Infamy — 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. The band mixed the effort with producer Kevin Shirley (IRON MAIDEN, DREAM THEATER).
