Sit Kitty Sit
The true appeal of this hard rock duo is its expertly engineered fusion of blow-your-mind power rock and skillful precision that leaves audiences screaming for more.
Kat Downs and Mike Thompson, two highly accomplished veterans of the San Francisco music scene, decided to experiment with the combination of classical piano and rock drumming in 2010. And it worked. Her ornate hands and flying hair juxtaposed with his percussive mastery are the only tools needed to take audiences on a no holds barred ride every time Sit Kitty Sit takes the stage.
With only two people, and no guitar in sight: “They seem to accomplish more … than most bands do with five [people],” wrote Veronica Kirk for Black on the Canvas.
“What Downs and Thompson create with the simplest of instruments, most orchestras can’t even build with the most intricate of players,” said BuzzNet.
For 15 years fans have loved witnessing the real-life mashup Sit Kitty Sit choreographs during its live performances and digital recordings — the dramatic, expressive stylings of Beethoven and Rachmaninoff with the lyrical vulnerability of Led Zeppelin and RUSH.
You don’t just attend a Sit Kitty Sit show, you experience it. So says longtime fan Elaine: “They’re the most awesomest band I’ve ever heard! Their energy is amazing. The way they both play their instruments is killer… when combined they’re epic. Their mix of hard rock and classical piano gives me shivers, every time.”
Sit Kitty Sit has become known for consistently electrifying its audiences with powerfully intense live performances and developing a strong community of faithful, almost cult-style following across the U.S. and Europe.
