KITTIE Pulls Out Of Belgium's METAL FEMALE VOICES FEST

September 24, 2008

Canadian all-female metal band KITTIE has pulled out of the Metal Female Voices Fest, set to take place October 18-19 in Wieze, Belgium. According to the group, "We have rescheduled a show for October 19, 2008 at Bosuil, Weert in the nearby Netherlands. We are also playing a show on October 18, 2008 in Amsterdam at Melkweg and hope that our Belgian fans can make it to either one of those shows. For any fans who bought festival tickets expecting to see KITTIE, please enquire about a refund. We apologize for this inconvenience but circumstances beyond our control made it necessary."

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.

Fan-filmed video footage of KITTIE performing at the Altered Skin Revolution in Saginaw, Michigan on July 26, 2008 can be viewed below.

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).
