Kitten Forever is a Minneapolis-based feminist punk trio.[1] The all-woman band formed in June 2006[2] 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."[3]
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.[4] The album was recorded at Ecstattic Studios by Ali Jaafar and included the single "Famous Friends".[5][6]
On July 18, 2015, Kitten Forever performed before Jack Off Jill during their only US show.[7]
