If you're in Chicago, or wherever they are, see this band. Solid and poetic rock music. Original work that cuts across the same lines as Patti Smith, the Smithereens, the Kinks and/or Concrete Blonde. A sense of roots, but contemporary and not derivative. Mere radio rock or rehashed pop music--not at all. These are the core elements of universal creation: guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and vocal. Kitty Devine twists/bends/breaks past models in favor of passionate and true passages of bread-basket rock that has a real edge, unequivocal musical sense, and opens veins as needed. Imaginative, fun and precise. Stories worth telling. Mature themes for a discriminating audience. A sense of discovery and fire, but not pretentious. The real thing...Kitty Devine. Rob Koehler
