Kitten

Fronted by dynamic lead singer Chloe Chaidez, the Los Angeles-based four-piece Kitten make ’80s post-punk-influenced dance-rock. The daughter of former Thee Undertakers drummer Mike Chaidez, Chloe grew up listening to a mix of punk and ’80s new wave bands like the Go-Go’s, the Motels, and Siouxsie and the Banshees. A precocious adolescent, Chaidez formed her first group, the cover band Wild Youth, at age ten. Three years later, she had formed Kitten, and with producer/manager Chad Anderson began working on original material. In 2010, when Chaidez was only 15 years old, Kitten released the driving, guitar and synth-heavy EP Sunday School. That same year the band signed to Atlantic. In 2012, Kitten returned with their sophomore EP, Cut It Out.
