At least two artists go by this name. 1) KIT are a super-melodic experimental rock band from Los Angeles, California. They play very fast, short, defiant songs that fuck with the ideas of pop music. Maybe they'll start off playing a song straight - sweetness and light abounds - but before you know it everything gets flipped on its head and chased into chaotic abstraction. KIT songs can typically embrace hardcore rush, pop verse, jagged noise and cheer rally, all within the same moment - nothing but raw positivity and instinctive songwriting holding it all together. KIT are Kristy (vocals / yelps), Steve (guitar / thrashing), VC (drums / freakouts) and George (guitar / feedback). Said members also perform in XBXRX, Lil' Pocketknife, Hawnay Troof, Snowsuit*, Warbler, DJ Shitbird and Boxleitner. To date the band have released three split 7" singles, one with LA post-hardcore group WIVES (PPM, 2003), one with weirdo-pop kindred spirits Deerhoof (Narnack, 2004) and one with Captain Ahab & Rose for Bodhan (Hug Life, 2005). All sold out rapidly on the back of the band's wildfire live shows and word of mouth. 2) KIT is a hip hop / r&b artist from Chicago. His debut mixtape/ album "New Wavey" was released in July 2013
