It's been quite a while since we've thought about
Free Kitten, the only-badasses-need-apply supergroup featuring
Sonic Youth's
Kim Gordon, Pussy Galore's Julie Cafritz, Yoshimi P-We of
Boredoms, and, at one point, Pavement bassist Mark Ibold. It's been more than a decade since their last record,
Sentimental Education, and since then, all parties involved have made some pretty kickass music outside of the realm of
feline gratis.
But we'll do a whole lot more thinking about Free Kitten between now and May 20, when
Ecstatic Peace issues
Inherit, the group's third proper LP. Though they're minus an Ibold this time out (he must be busy with
that Pavement reunion PSYCH), the disc sports a little guest axe-work from Mr. J Mascis. Fair trade?
By the by, that photo up there ain't just two ladies dressed up like guitar-slingin' wizards. It's two ladies (Gordon and Cafritz) dressed up like guitar-slingin' wizards at the video shoot for the exceptionally titled "Free Kitten on the Mountain", which you'll want to keep an eye peeled for.
And, if you're in New York City between now and April 9, you'll want to stop into the
K.S. Art gallery, where an exhibition of Kim Gordon's abstract watercolors is gracing the walls. The show will also include a sound work created by Gordon in collaboration with that Thurston guy she hangs out with from time to time.
