Local Fest Preview: Kitten Forever

By Michael on October 30, 2008 in mp3blog

Local Fest, Local Fest; Perhaps you've seen the posters, heard me rave about it, listened to the promo, but in case your still wondering "what exactly is it?" I've provided an easy-to-read paragraph to lead you in the right direction:

Think of Local Fest as a cave show 2.0, the VH1-pop-up-video version of a concert. 5 of the best bands from the cities will play at the cave and the entire show will be broadcasted on KRLX -- meaning "local" fest can be heard anywhere in the world (provided you are within range of our 100watt tower or have internet access). Besides the fabulous live music from these great bands KRLX listeners get to hear interviews with the performing bands. In the 15 minutes between sets, bands will chat with KRLX live on air. Cave fans will also get a chance to share reactions to the show on air. Local Fest takes a Cave show to a new dimension. COME TO THE CAVE or turn your radio to 88.1fm this Saturday 8pm to 12pm. Music will start promptly at 8pm. These bands will rock the airwaves this Saturday; The Vignettes, Kitten Forever, Mc/Vl, Unicorn Basement, Baby Guts.

Now, onto today's featured band: Kitten Forever

Kitten Forever are 3 sassy girls. Consisting of just vocals, bass,and drums, they yell, pluck, and beat their hearts out to fast, minimal tunes that are part-riot-grrl part the gossip part punk. According to last.fm they are influenced by "feminism, baby animals, gut-wrenching depression, dark bedrooms, porches in winter, and cuddling." And we have all of those things at Carleton. Yet don't be fooled by the cuddliness of the above description, this isn't a cute, sugary band. There're loud and real; as if a K-Recs cassette showed up in Minneapolis; lo-fi, smart, funny about serious things, serious about funny things, dramatic, and filled with character and attitude. Don't come late and miss them. Their new album Born Ready gets 5 FUCKING STARS from me.
