Biography

It started one day in gymnastics class. Mercedes Lander, still in high school, met Fallon Bowman incidentally. Both were into the same music: Nirvana, Silverchair, Pink Floyd, etc. and wanted to be in a rock band. They began to play Nirvana songs in a garage, when eventually they teamed up with Mercedes' sister Morgan, who had a gifted and talented voice. By the time they found bassist Talena, Kittie had been set in stone. They became a hit at their high school, in which at the time, pop acts like Britney Spears were getting big. The members of Kittie strayed from the pop crowd, they knew they were all for the heavy metal. By January of 2000, their debut album Spit was released from their Canadian label, Ng Records. The songs involved hate, betrayal, rape, suicide, and other gritty themes the girls had encountered at some point in their lives. The following summer, Kittie was put on the 2nd stage at Ozzfest, along with bands such as Soulfly and Taproot. Proving to be one of the most popular bands there, their song "Suck" was put onto the Ozzfest live compilation album. By 2001, Kittie was set to work on their next album. Then shadows began to fall on the band: they stopped speaking to each other for a short time, due to an argument. No one knew what was to come for the band. By August 2001, Fallon Bowman spoke up and decided to leave the band, in pursuit of a solo career, along the lines of a Rage Against The Machine-ish project. A few months later, November 2001, Kittie released their second album, Oracle with the help of GGGarth Richardson (Mudvayne, Chevelle). This album was set to be more mature, with Morgan's new riffs, visual lyrics, and entrancing melodies. Their first single from the new album, "What I Always Wanted", debuted on MTV, and metal fans bought the record. Kittie thought that they had overcome some of their greatest obstacles, though they were wrong. By early 2002, bassist Talena Atfield became the second member to walk away, in hopes of something new. There weren't any members to cover for her this time around. So, instead of giving up, Morgan and Mercedes began to search for a new bass player, where they found ex-Spine's Jennifer Arroyo. Jennifer was already a fan of Kittie, and learning the parts wasn't that hard for her. Around the time, "Run Like Hell" and "Pain" began to air on radio stations, and live music videos were shot. In May came the mellow, harmonic "In Winter", which became popular on rock radio shows such as hardDrive w/Lou Brutus. The summer came, and Kittie came back to Ozzfest for their second time, playing a few shows here and there, getting prepared for their EP release. By November, Kittie was done with the Safe EP, and it was released, featuring a KMFDM remix of "Safe"; a radio edit of "Safe"; live recordings of "No Name", "Severed", "What I Always Wanted", "In Winter", and "Pain"; and live footage of "Wolves", "Charlotte", and "Mouthful of Poison". It is now February 2003, and Morgan, Mercedes, and Jennifer are working on material for their upcoming release. A release date is yet to be scheduled, but it's worth the wait.

3. In Winter You fell to the ground like rain On deaf ears your cries met hands And knees were blistered Shouting from the tallest tree You declared wrong But they never listen There's safety in numbers This cold-hearted world! The Coldest Winter... You don't see me like I know you Hiding behind glass So sickened by grief You can't let them win They'll have you Playing life makes death so good This cold-hearted world! The Coldest Winter... You don't know, And you never will!	riff_master

Severed Look at you now Eyes wide open Truth begged to be told I walk around in circles to revisit Where I've always been You spoke of where your heart was I thought I knew you well Ties that bind you have been severed Look at you now Eyes wide open Truth begged to be told I want to make you feel this Trusting arms let me fall once again I stood close to an enemy and Closer to a friend Ties that bind you have been severed. Look at you now Eyes wide open Truth begged to be told	riff_master

You better make your face up in Your favourite disguise With your button down lips and your Roller blind eyes With your empty smile And your hungry heart Feel the bile rising from your guilty past With your nerves in tatters when the cockleshell shatters And the hammers batter down the door You'd better run! Run run run run run run run run Run, YEAH! You better run all day and run all night And keep your dirty feelings deep inside And if you're taking your Girlfriend out tonight You'd better park the car well out of sight Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks They're gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box You better run! Run run run run run run run run Run, YEAH!	riff_master

9. Safe In the darkness Troubled water Lies a flicker Of hopes fire Come to your senses Wager a risk I won't let go Waiting for this It's wonderful Reality I watch as This golden bird flies free Down Never When this breath, is done And know me I can't See For what happend to be And the end... In this ash-vault A rose garden These walls will never See me just to Save me Save me	riff_master
10. No Name Indeed I will condescend Exhausting every trace to give you, What you asked for Everything you demanded you bleed right from me At last, I will be free And the phoenix rises Invasion of my last hope For once just know your place We are only human Everything you demanded you bleed right from me So weak you cannot see Corruption at its finest	riff_master
11. Pink Lemonade Trusted you With my life Shattered dreams Broken glass I hope there is closure Down your path For I have yet to find The means to forgive So what if you were all I had? Is it over? Wasting away And forget to see Go choose your way Leaving everything You walked away Did it make it easier on you? So what now? Life must go on still haunted You know how hard it is to face this day I hope it is good for you I tried, oh how I tried, but it's broken Let me go, I could have died	riff_master
