I thought I'd post this to help get the board going. It's Kittie, an all female metal band. One of my favourite bands too!
Kittie is pretty cool. I am not nearly into metal as I was back in my early twenties (hours of Slayer and Sepultura and Pantera, OH MY!), but I still listen for new stuff. This catches my ear much more than the majority of the stuff these days. I've listened to a few things, mostly when I'm in a mood and turn on a metal internet station.
It's one thing to be a female band in pop, R'n'B, country, et al. The metal scene is really dominated by men. I am sure it's tough to be seen as a legitimate act, rather than a novelity. Kudos to them.
I did hear some kittie's song on owa's insisting.They are good.Almost nirvana style.Maybe a bit Nu-metal too.I also like the Epi les paul ,some one plays there.
I always look forward to a new album from them.
So far my favorite album is Until The End.

If you're into all-girl heavy rock bands, there was a British band called Girlschool back in the early 80's - they were pretty cool, even had a hit single - they got together with Motorhead and recorded "Please Don't Touch" - was a pretty big hit here in the UK.....I think it was an old Gene Vincent song from the 50's, but wow did they rip it up!
I was chatting to OWA a few mins ago on MSN and mentioned "Please Don't Touch"..... wow, it brought back memories, I bought "You Better You Bet" by The Who, "Centerfold" by the J Geils Band, "Please Don't Touch" and my first Rubik's Cube all on the same day......1981 would be the year.....
:D :D :D

These ladies are more listenable than Kittie imo. My problem with Kittie is that one girls voice, atleast I think it was a voice. It sounded like some one had stomped on a cats tail. Maybe that's where the name Kittie comes from :wink:

I like the screaming vocals. The lead singer, Morgan Lander is good at singing normally and screaming. Mind you, I didn't care much for it at first but it kinda grew on me.
vic, i remember girl school, they rocked. any body remember an all girl metal band called rock goddess?
even god loves rock-n-roll
Don't remember Rock Goddess - but I remember the Bangles covering a song about 85 or so called "Going Down To Liverpool" - it was actually a minor hit over here, I wondered at the time what a bunch of well-off California girls were thinking of, covering a song about life on the dole (American translation - welfare) in the most depressed city in the UK (in terms of unemployment that is).....certain irony about that don't you think? I could never take them seriously again.....they wouldn't have known the difference between a UB40 (unemployment benefit claim form) and UB40 (a german submarine).........
:D :D :D
