artist Run with the Kittens

 The evolution of Toronto’s Run with the Kittens continues with their experimental, progressive-rock fifth studio recording “Myth in the Sky”.  This five song EP, set for release on April 30, 2010, confirms the Kittens are in fine musical shape.  Fueled by their passion of raucous, in your face rock music and over the top, jaw-dropping live performances, Myth in the Sky is a solid representation of the band’s growth, skill and musicianship.

Drawing influences from acts across the genre-spectrum, Run with the Kittens music is sporadically diverse but remains tightly contained, all the while capturing it’s live audience by the sheer enthusiasm and intensity the group share.   No surprise they were awarded with “Best Live Electric Band” by the Toronto Independent Music Awards in 2006.

The Kittens have performed over 800 shows in their seven year career, which included a five year residency at Toronto’s independent music cornerstone, The Cameron House.  They’ve also hauled across Canada twice in their, now defunct, black school bus, and even pounced as far across the pond to Holland in late 2008.  They’ve graced the stages of Mariposa and Eaglewood Folk Festival, rocked the pants off of NorthByNorthEast and have even played at a mental institution – where we’re sure the Kittens felt right at home.  As of late, they’ve managed to secure two more residencies - one at the University of Toronto’s Hart House Café as well as at The Jimmy Jazz in Guelph.
