It was in the year 2008 that Kitty and Billy decided to launch the project “Kitty in a Casket” to play Punk Rock influenced by “Billy” and Rock-n-Roll styles. With two more band members, the idea was immediately realized and the first LP titled “Horror Express” was released on Crazy Love Records. This was soon followed up by the EP release “HalloWien.” The “feline plague” spread like wildfire and Kitty in a Casket quickly became everybody’s darling. Beyond the studio recordings, they proved their mettle in live shows across Europe, also playing at major festivals such as WGT 2010 and Back to Future in Germany, Psychobilly Meeting in Spain, Fiesta du Rock in Belgium, Warhead Fest in Poland, Club Sin in Finland among many others.

In the winter of 2009, they joined forces with the excellent standup-bass player, “Slappin’ Suspender” from Germany, and since early 2011, Scott “The Hitman” Noben from Portland, Oregon, has been keeping the beat for KiaC. Together, they are “back to thrill.”

“Back to Thrill” The eagerly anticipated new album will be released on Wolverine Records in June 2011. KiaC is “Back to Thrill” with 13 new tracks that lyrically branch out from classic horror themes to address socio-cultural issues as well. It also includes the band’s very first German-language song, “Blutsauger” (bloodsucker), and contributions from guest artists on a number of tracks: “Shake Your Bones” with vocals and a guitar solo by Rene D la Muerte (“The Brains”), the duet “Caught In A Dream” with Lucas Fendrich, and other featured artists. You know what they say about curiosity … And don’t miss the chance to see KiaC live in concert: current tour dates are posted on the band’s Facebook and MySpace pages.
