The Lounge Kittens To Play Final Shows In 2020

The Lounge Kittens have announced that they’ll be disbanding after playing their final shows in Manchester, London and Southampton in February 2020.

The Southampton trio have become regulars on the festival scene and touring circuit since they crashed into the lives of every YouTubing Metalhead with their infamous cover of Rollin’ by Limp Bizkit. After opening the nu-metal heroes’ set on the main stage at Sonisphere 2014, it soon became impossible to ignore The Lounge Kittens as they were invited to tour alongside Steel Panther, Jaret Reddick (Bowling for Soup) and Status Quo.

Here’s What Members Of The Lounge Kittens Think Of Disbanding

Timia (the Blue one) continues, “The Lounge Kittens has been a bonding experience, so wild and extraordinary I doubt anything will ever compare to it. To have an opportunity to connect with people – both the girls and everyone spiralling out from them who found a sense of fun or belonging as part of ‘Team Kitten’ has been a privilege and I feel extremely fortunate and toasty to have ridden this magical wave for as long as we did. Our intentions were to create a little light relief in our own lives and maybe a handful of others, crack a few smiles and get a couple of laughs – and somehow knocked it out the park in a way we daren’t dream was possible. I’m so proud.”

Zan (the Pink one) says “It was never about the money,  but the stress of the PledgeMusic situation which was to reward fans with the items they’d pledged for, despite the (now deceased) crowdfunding site failing to pass on more than £15,000 of their fans’ money, definitely played a part in our decision. To work THAT HARD for so long and still not be able to pay the bills at the end of it all is disappointing and it can’t help but suck a little bit of the fun out of things. And we never, ever want it to stop being fun. That’s the whole point of everything.”

Jen (the Red one) adds “We never expected even a quarter of the experiences and opportunities we’ve been lucky enough to share together. No amount of music appreciation, research, reading or practice can really prepare you for the ups and downs that come with being in a band, but through all the difficulties we’ve met so many incredible fans along the way.”
