KITTY FINER
Kitty Finer describes herself as a singing and dancing visual artist. She has positioned herself on the border where music and fine art join forces and arrived at a sound that combines soul, pop, punk, garage rock and 60’s Girl band influences.
Brought up by father Jem Finer (co-founder of The Pogues) and artist mother Marcia Farquhar, it’s no surprise that the combination of hard work and punk spirit has been the driving force behind Kitty’s “Just Do It Yourself” attitude.
She had an early taste of life on the road when she was spotted playing drums in her family band The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with father and sound artist sister Ella Finer. Anarchist artist Aaron Williamson invited her to play drums in his band alongside bassist Shane Bradley, founder member of The Nipple Erectors.
When she turned 23 she took herself to the front of the stage to sing. Her first gig was supporting Mick Jones at his club night under the West way. She hasn’t looked back since.
She has performed in both planned and impromptu performances across the world from festivals in Japan to lobbies in Las Vegas. Along with her band, Kitty has performed in legendary London music venues opening for The Hinds, The Veils, and The Pogues.
