Kitten Forever
Kitten Forever is a Minneapolis-based feminist punk trio. The all-woman band formed in June 2006 and includes Corrie Harrigan, Laura Larson, and Liz Elton. "Reviler" described them as a trio who "collapse pop melodies underneath fuzzy, broken-speaker bass and chaotic drumming, all held together by glue and safety pins vocals that bring to mind the kinetic energy and art-punk attitude of Karen O." Kitten Forever released their first album, "Born Ready", in 2008. In July 2013, they released their second full-length album, "Pressure", which they promoted on their RIDE OR DIE WITCH NO  BUMMER SUMMER: NOTHING'S BETTER THAN FRIENDS TOUR. The album was recorded at Ecstattic Studios by Ali Jaafar and included the single "Famous Friends". On "Pressure," Kitten Forever began their signature live show attraction - the seamless ability to switch instruments as well as roles mid-performance and deliver a stunningly complex and dynamic show. This democratic approach to performing and songwriting gives the band a unified front, deconstructing traditional stage hierarchy. They also began using a telephone microphone, inspired by the sound of punk band Mika Miko. On July 18, 2015, Kitten Forever performed before Jack Off Jill during their  only US reunion show. Their third album, "7 Hearts", was released on JD Samson's Atlas Chair Records in 2016. With just 15 tracks, run through in under 30 minutes, "7 Hearts" continues the take no s— party vibes that excelled on the band’s second full-length "Pressure" and elevates them with harder, nuanced messages about feminism and power. 7 Hearts was recorded by Matt Castore and mastered by Sarah Register. With their fourth full-length release, "Semi-Permanent", Kitten Forever returned to their DIY roots, self-releasing the 11-song album on their own label Rat Queen Records  in 2018. They toured on this album as support for Screaming Females during their "All At Once" US tour. Band members.
