Kittie Biography
Kittie is a Canadian, alternative metal, all-women band from London, Ontario. The band rose to success in 1999 when the track “Brackish” from their debut album Spit became a hit single. The band also supported Slipknot during the early 2000s on Slipknot’s UK tour, heightening the band’s popularity.
Kittie was formed in 1996, when Mercedes Lander and Fallon Bowman met in a high school gymnastics class. The lead singer and guitarist, Morgan Lander, is Mercedes’ sister. Their original bassist was Tanya Candler, who eventually left the band in the winter of 1999 due to the fact that she wanted to finish high school. She was replaced with Talena Atfield.
In 2001, Fallon Bowman left Kittie without citing her reasons and eventually started a new project called Amphibious Assault. Fallon’s position as guitarist would later be filled by Jeff Phillips who worked as Kitties’ guitar technician. He now plays guitar for Thine Eyes Bleed.
