Kittie Announce Summer Tour

The all chick quartet from Canada known as Kittie will be embarking on a Summer tour and their plan is to destroy and dominate. The festivities will be kicked off at the "Gathering Of Juggalos" on August 11 at the Hog Rock in Cave Rock, Illinois, and will conclude on September 21 at the Black Sheep in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Joining Kittie on the Rock N Roll highway will be Dirge Within and Diamond Plate. Here is the OFFICIAL press release:

"Veteran road warriors, KITTIE will be hitting the road this summer on a headlining run spanning the entire US including the notorious "Gathering Of Juggalos" festival. DIRGE WITHIN and DIAMOND PLATE will offer support.

The band has been in the studio since April recording their yet untitled new record. What promises to be a grittier record than their previous effort "In the Black,” front woman Morgan Lander offers her own words.

"We have been working exceptionally hard, crafting what is to be our 6th full length release, and our second for eOne. In some cases these new songs are faster, darker and much more sinister than our previous release. It contains some of the most difficult and personal subject matter I have had the pleasure (or displeasure) of writing."

Once again the band has enlisted the producing talent of Siegfried "Siggy" Meier at Beach Road Studios in Goderich Ontario, Canada. “The girls have written some incredible and personal songs this time around. They’re heavy as shit and relentless. It's a pleasure and an honor to be doing another record with one of the best metal bands of our time," says Meier. The new record will be released later this year."
