Free Kitten is a musical collaboration between Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and Pussy Galore's Julie Cafritz. Originally performing under the name Kitten, they changed their name, after receiving threats of legal action by a heavy metal singer performing under that name. Boredoms member Yoshimi P-We eventually took up the task of drumming, and Pavement's Mark Ibold joined later on as bassist. They have released a handful of albums and singles, mainly on Kill Rock Stars, including a remix 12" featuring DJ Spooky. They toured on 1993's Lollapalooza. A studio album, Inherit, on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label, is available.
Famous quotes containing the words free and/or kitten:
“Thou madest loose grace unkind;
Gavest bridle to their words, art to their pace.
O Honour, it is thou
That makest that stealth, which Love doth free allow.”
—Torquato Tasso (1544–1595)
“I had rather be a kitten and cry mew
Than one of these same metre ballad-mongers.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
