Sit Kitty Sit - 'Purge'

Stripped to it's bare essentials; some classy piano leads render a kooky-ish slice of pop music, complimented by some fantastic vocal melodicism from Bay Area's Sit Kitty Sit

San Francisco based alt rock/prog duo, Sit Kitty Sit, takes the stage. It’s a pretty girl in a cocktail dress, and a handsome guy in black jeans. Simple. Unassuming. You would never suspect that those two blue-eyed-babes up there were classically trained music geeks – the kind with braggy diplomas who understand weird jokes about fermatas and Neapolitan 6th chords.  Armed only with piano and drums this fiery team lets loose an expertly manipulated balance of power rock and intricate classical/contemporary nerd-ism that leaves audiences anything but silent.

In May of 2010 Kat Downs (Good Natured Mortals/Sparrows Point/Saints of Ruin) and Mike Thompson (Big Nasty/Tokyo Raid/Cougar Kick) teamed up to experiment with the combination of classical piano and rock drumming. The music they created reflects evidence of Zeppelin, Beethoven, Rush and Rachmaninoff while Kat Downs’ vocals are more reminiscent of Florence Welch or Amy Lee.

A new album is currently in production for a winter 2012 release.
