Hard Rock Hideout caught up with KITTIE vocalist/guitarist Morgan Lander recently. A brief excerpt from the interview follows:

Q: So, Morgan, where in the world are you?

A: "Home! We, (Kittie) have been off tour since January 25th, (of 2010)."

Q: How was the tour in Europe?

A: "Awesome, we had a really good time."

Q: One of the great things about being a world known band, is the opportunity to travel the world and see so many great countries.

A: "Yeah, it is a great experience to go to so many different countries and play in front of the fans around the world. We had some fans that traveled eight hours in Europe, just to come out and see us! That really means a lot to Kittie, having fans that will travel that long and far to see our show."

Q: Kittie and God Forbid in the States, what can the fans expect?

A: "Fun! We know God Forbid real well, plus we never toured together, so it should be great. We have always talked about touring together, (with God Forbid), now it’s going to happen. We also share a mutual crew person."

Q: Any tour pet peeves you want to reveal?

A: "I, Kittie, we love everything about touring. Let’s see... there is one pet peeve that really bothers us all, it’s when strangers knock on the tour bus door! Anytime of the day it’s scary, especially at night. The tour bus is our home, our sanctuary, you just don’t go knocking on someone’s front door in the middle of the night! We don’t feel very safe just opening up the door to strangers that want to meet us. Besides, maybe I’m in my pajamas!"

Q: Is there a live album in the future for Kittie?

A: "No, yet we always wanted to do one. It’s definitely doable, we could work it out. If one was to happen, I would want it to be a CD/DVD combination. A future live album from Kittie would be an eye opener for the fans as well, it’s been ten years of Kittie! We definitely have the material and so much has changed with Kittie since the Spit In Your Eye video, which came out in 2000."
