Born in 2010, Sit Kitty Sit has flat out invented the term “Classical Rock”. No question.
Kat Downs (piano/vox) and Mike Thompson (drums) create an undeniable pop/proggy piano and drum duo which has been described as Dresden Dolls mixed with Florence + Machine, Tori Amos, & Ben Folds Five.

Following their initial debut EP “The Push” in September of 2010, SKS became known for consistently thrilling audiences with their energetically intense live performances. No holds barred, this group produces addictive rock n’ roll – with only two people, and not one guitar in sight.

February 2012 saw the release of their much anticipated sophomore album “Beautiful/Terrible” released by the new independent label, Gun Horse Records. The album was introduced to the public on February 3, 2012 at San Francisco’s legendary live music venue, The Bottom of the Hill.

Looking forward, Sit Kitty Sit continues to rock throughout the Bay Area, as well as branching further down into Southern California. Breaking into the festival scene, they will be playing a series of shows alongside SXSW 2012 as well as performing at the new Bask music festival scheduled in July 2012 in Russian River, CA. A fundraiser is set to celebrate Sit Kitty Sit’s 2nd Birthday in May, which will lead to an East Coast tour in the fall and a Midwest tour early in 2013.

If you understand orchestration techniques more than the average listener you will find there is no need to read an artists’ bio to realize when a musician is trained in composition, transposition and music theory.
