saw them at louder than life it was so much fun they even liked my post on instagram it was simply a beautiful moment
it was a awesome concert and acts but venue was way to small no room to mosh and the drinks where a little on the pricey side
All of the bands were great but Kittie rocked it the best!
Well, sadly, it seems that the venue either had no faith in this show, or felt it would fuse nicely with a random opportunity they were afforded (Warbringer doing a random off-date show during their current tour). No matter what, though, the crowd in KC didn't seem as into Kittie as the crowd at the show I likewise attended the following night in St. Louis (at the Firebird). But, as has been the case for some time, unfortunately the crowd seemed to significantly thin out once the local openers and much-talked-about openers (in this case: The Agonist) vacate the stage. Kittie's star (it seems) has faded from where it was even in '04 (when they toured for UNTIL THE END, my favorite of their albums). Although, whether this is the fault of the fickle nature of our modern youth culture (who consider anything more than five minutes in existence to be "old") or whether Kittie's former record label (Artemis) has black listed them remains to be seen, though the later seems more evident, as the absence of Kittie's albums in stores like Best Buy, their merch in stores like Hot Topic and the general "visibility" of them through media portals like MTV and general heavy metal/alt. rock radio station play, is all but nil. However, despite all this, the band powers through. I have, seldom, if ever, seen them give a half-hearted show (the closest I came to this was a show of theirs I saw in Farmington, Missouri at a bar called Outlaws in May of 2006; but the show itself was flawed from the outset). Apart from the above mentioned incident, each show I've seen is more epic than the last. Their new album (I'VE FAILED YOU) is among their finest work. And while both the KC and STL shows differed in terms of crowd attitude and the general demeanor of the band (despite mass technical difficulties, Kittie seemed to have more fun in St. Louis) the set was the same (and was constant throughout the entire tour) and, yet, still both nights proved to be powerful entertainment. I hope Kittie endures and trudges ahead, despite waning show attendance and, perhaps, slack record sales. The band is amazing force in metal (in music in general) and the experience of seeing them live, or listening to one of their albums, is indeed a singular encounter; heart-filled thrash metal at its emotionally-wrenching finest. I've now seen Kittie eleven times live (and have traveled to see them four times)... I've even weathered and tolerated other musical acts (Shattermask, the Insane Clown Posse, etc.), whose very name I would normally cringe at its mention, just to enjoy one of their performances. Even if the rest of the world forgets (or "moves on"... whatever that means) I will still love Kittie, will still buy their albums and will still see them live (even if it means driving 200+ miles to do so). The band, and their creative output, is just that good.
I love these 4 amazing woman, i would see them again! Beers too expensive no good at all.
Fun show. I would see them again! They rocked! \m/(>.<)\m/
KITTIE played an incredible show. The venue was clean and the staff was nice! The drinks were inexpensive!
Nice show, beers too expensive no good at all , nice sound I like it but beverages way to spensive ..
Kittie put on a very goog show! Not much og a crowd, but they still rocked the house!!!!!
Kittie put on an enjoyable, high-intensity show. I've seen them a few times before, but this time was the best. Even though there weren't a lot of people there, we still had a pretty intense mosh pit. The Masquerade is an awesome venue. Kittie's openers were pretty decent too. Dirge Within has an amazing stage presence, Diamond Plate is heavy as hell and reminiscent of 80's hair metal, Last Red Ransom's screaming female vocalist was awesome, and Inviolate gave us a bit of belly dancing. All in all, a great night of rock!
