KITTIE drummer Mercedes Lander is featured in a new video interview with Hightower And Jones conducted in Chicago, IL at the Double Door om October 22nd. Check it out below
As previously reported, Lander recently spoke with BW&BK; scribe Carl Begai about the band's new album, In The Black. A new excerpt from the interview is available below:
“This is the album we always wanted to make,” states Mercedes. “With the last record, I think the songs were there but the production wasn’t. It was pretty fucking bad production. Every album we’ve done we’ve used analog tape, but it wasn’t the analog that was the problem on Funeral For Yesterday; it was the way we recorded it. We didn’t have a lot of say in it and it didn’t turn out the way we wanted it to. This new album, we did it blind with nobody sticking their fingers in it. We did it by ourselves.”“We find that people always want to change us,” she adds, referring to assorted industry personalities Kittie have encountered over the years. “It’s been a struggle because people have always said ‘You should do this and that and that…’ but we don’t want to be anything different than what we are right now. That should be quite apparent because we went off and did this record ourselves, and look how it turned out.”
