A few weeks back I was sitting at the Angry Dog in Deep Ellum, while friends were getting tattoos, reading the Dallas Observer. I noticed that a band called "Kitty" was playing at Trees on July 14th. I seemed to remember Donut mentioning that he liked the band so I called him and asked him if Kitty was the band he had talked about before. He goes nuts and says yes tells me that we just HAVE to go see them.
Turns out, Kitty is an all-girl (or grrl, in the parlance of our times) heavy metal band. The music was pretty much your standard metal. More like a hoamge to the gods of metal like Sabbath and Mettalica. There was a mosh pit but it was kidna small. It did threaten to envelop us at one point but it never took on a life of it's own to engulf the entire floor as some pits do. Quote from Donut: "That could have been a disaster if it wasn't for that big fat guy in front of us."
We hung out after the show so Donut could get his picture taken with each of the hot metal girls. I'll put them up as soon as he emails them to me. Oh yeah and they're Canadian, which really isn't very metal.
Hey, how often can any of us remember being grateful to a big fat guy in front of us at any kind of performance? Being able to say that alone would be worth it...even if Canadian Metal isn't really hard core.
pffft....nothing about those girls is hardcore. they're just kind of cute. it's more of a novelty than anything based on actual talent.
