U-Kittie ungummeleli ovelele wendawo yensimbi yaseCanada. Kukho konke ukuba khona kweqembu cishe njalo kwakunamantombazane. Uma sikhuluma ngeqembu leKittie ngezinombolo, sithola okulandelayo:
- ukwethulwa kwama-albhamu ayi-6 e-studio agcwele ngokugcwele;
- ukukhishwa kwe-albhamu yevidiyo eyi-1;
- ukuqoshwa kwe-4 mini-LPs;
- ukuqopha izingoma ezingashadile eziyi-13 neziqeshana zevidiyo eziyi-13.
Imidlalo yeqembu idinga ukunakwa okukhethekile. Abanikazi bedatha yezwi enamandla bangene ngokucula kwabo kusukela kumasekhondi okuqala. Imaphi amacala atholwa izethameli ngesikhathi sokusebenza kweqembu lamantombazane angeke aqhathaniswe nanoma yini enye.
Umlando wokudalwa kanye nokwakheka kweqembu leKittie
Ukuze uzwe umlando wokudalwa kweqembu, udinga ukukhumbula iCanada maphakathi nawo-1990. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho umshayi wezigubhu uMercedes Lander ahlangana khona nentombazane okuthiwa uFallon Bowman.
Ngenxa yalokho, lobu bungane bakhula baba inyunyana eqinile yokudala. I-duet yaqala ukuzilolonga. Ngokushesha amantombazane wethula izinguqulo zekhava yomphakathi yamathrekhi amabhendi adumile.
Lapho uMercedes noFallon bebona ukuthi umsindo ababewuthola wawungalungile, baletha umculi wezwi/isiginci uMorgan Lander kanye nomshayi webhesi uTanya Candler.
Iqembu elisha laqala ukuzilolonga ngokufanele. Amantombazane ayecija ikhono lawo lomculo, futhi ngesikhathi sekhefu ayenaka ukubhala amagama e-albhamu yokuqala.
Indlela yokudala nomculo kaKittie
Ukwethulwa kwe-albhamu yokuqala kwenzeka ngasekupheleni kwawo-1990. Izilaleli zamangala ngomsebenzi weqembu lamantombazane. Okokuqala, ngesikhathi sokukhululwa kwe-LP, amantombazane ayengakafiki eminyakeni yobudala, ngakho intsha eningi yaba cishe izithixo. Okwesibili, abathandi bomculo bamangala ngomlayezo onolaka owawuzwakala emibhalweni yezingoma ze-quartet yentombazane.
Hhayi ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa kuqala. Cishe ngokushesha ngemva kokwethulwa kwerekhodi, uCandler walishiya iqembu. Intombazane yanquma ukunaka kakhulu izifundo zayo. Ngokushesha indawo yakhe yathathwa nguTalena Atfield, nokho, kudiski ekhishwe, uCandler wayesesohlwini.
Ngemuva kokwamukelwa okufudumele kwe-albhamu yokuqala, iqembu lakwaKittie lahamba noSlipknot, lapho lacula khona nebhendi ethandwayo "ekushiseni". Ngaphezu kwalokho, ibhendi yaba yilungu lohambo lwe-Ozzfest'2000.
Iqembu ngeminyaka yawo-2000
Ekuqaleni kwawo-2000, kwaziwa ukuthi u-Bowman wayeshiya ingqondo. Uthole amandla okwenza eyakhe iphrojekthi. Iqembu elisha laqanjwa ngokuthi i-Amphibious Assault. I-brainchild entsha ka-Bowman yathandwa abalandeli. Ukwazile ngokugcwele ukusebenzisa iphrojekthi ezimele.
Ngemuva kokuhamba kuka-Bowman obekungalindelekile, uMorgan Lander kwadingeka aqophe zonke izingxenye zesiginci ku-Oracle LP entsha eyedwa. Ngemva kokwethulwa kwe-albhamu entsha yesitudiyo, abalandeli baphawule umsindo owedlulele kakhulu. Izinguquko ezinjalo zibe nomthelela omuhle ekuthengisweni kwe-albhamu. Esontweni lokuqala kuphela, "abalandeli" bathengise amakhophi angaphezu kuka-30 erekhodi.
Ukukhishwa kweqoqo elisha akuzange kube ngaphandle kokuvakasha. Imisebenzi yomdlali wesiginci yathathwa uJeff Phillips, owayesebenza njengochwepheshe kwezomculo. Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, indawo kaJeff yathathwa yi-Atfield. Kulesi sakhiwo, ithimba liqophe i-mini-LP Safe. Abalandeli nabagxeki bomculo bathole le nto entsha ngokufudumele.
Ngo-2004, i-discography yebhendi yaseCanada yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu yobude obugcwele. I-LP entsha ibibizwa nge-Until The End. Ithengise amakhophi angaphansi kuka-20 ngesonto layo lokuqala. Ngaleso sikhathi, ibhendi yayisebenzisana ngokugcwele nelebula elithi Artemis Records.
Ngemva konyaka kukhululwe irekhodi elishiwo ngenhla, inkontileka yanqanyulwa enkantolo. Iqiniso liwukuthi inkampani idlale imidlalo yokungathembeki. Akazange abakhokhele abaculi imali okuvunyelwene ngayo futhi wephule imibandela eminingi yenkontileka.
Ngaleso sikhathi, odade bakwaLander kuphela ababesele eqenjini. U-Aroyo ushiye iqembu ngaphandle kokukhononda, okungeke kushiwo ngoMarx. Abalandeli abafunanga ukudedela lokhu, baze baqala umbhikisho omncane wokubuyisela u-Kittie.
Ngemuva kokuhamba kwabacula yedwa ababalulekile, ibhendi yamukele uTara McLeod kanye nomculi webhesi uTrisha Dawn ohlwini lwabazocula. Ngaphezu kodadewabo bakwaLander, uTara noTrish baba amalungu okuqala asemthethweni eqembu. Ngo-2006, ohlwini olubuyekeziwe, i-discography yeqembu yaphinde yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu encane. Sikhuluma ngecwecwe elithi Never Again.
Ukudalwa kwelebula ye-Kiss of Infamy
Ngo-2006, kwaziwa ngokusungulwa kwelebula labo elithi Kiss of Infamy. Ngokushesha igama kwadingeka lishintshelwe ku-X of Infamy. Iqiniso liwukuthi amalungu eqembu athole incwadi evela enkampanini ephethe amalungelo engqondo yezimpawu zeqembu elidumile. Kiss.
Ngemva konyaka, kwethulwa i-LP entsha senzeka kulebula yabo. Leli qoqo belibizwa ngoMngcwabo Wayizolo. Ngemva kokwethulwa kwe-disc, leli qembu lahamba nohambo, lapho iqembu lavakashela eNingizimu Melika. Ngaleso sikhathi, u-Ivi Vuzhik waba isiginci isivakashi. Udawn uphoqeleke ukuthi aphume esiteji ngenxa yezinkinga zempilo. Ngo-2008 uKittie wathatha uhambo olukhulu lwase-Europe.
Ukwethulwa kwe-albhamu yesihlanu yesitudiyo kwenzeka ngo-2009. Laba baculi baqophe irekhodi elithi In The Black enkampanini ethi E1 Music. Ingoma ethi Cut Throat ifakwe kumculo wefilimu "Saw 6". Iqiniso lokuthi ithrekhi izwakale efilimini yandisa inani labalandeli bomsebenzi weqembu leKittie.
Ngokwesiko elihle, ngokushesha ngemva kokwethulwa kwe-albhamu ye-studio, amantombazane athatha uhambo, olwaqhubeka kwaze kwaba ngu-2011. Ngokushesha kwatholakala ulwazi lokuthi basebenza ku-disc yesithupha kanye no-Siegfried Meyer. "Abalandeli" bajabulele izingoma ezintsha zenhlanganisela ethi Ngihlulekile, ukwethulwa kwayo ngo-2011 ofanayo.
Khona-ke abalandeli abazange bezwe iqembu iminyaka engu-5. Kwaze kwafika ngo-2012 lapho iqembu lamemezela khona i-fundraiser ye-biopic. Abalandeli bebedinga u-$20.
Ngo-2014, iqembu lakwaKittie lathwebula idokhumentari eyayinikezelwe ekugubheni iminyaka engu-20 kwasungulwa leli qembu. Abalandeli abafuna ukungena ku-biography kanye nempilo yangemuva kwenkundla ka-Kittie bangabuka ifilimu.
Ukuhlukana kukaKittie
Ngo-2017, kwaziwa ukuthi iqembu leKittie alisekho. Ngalesi sikhathi, ama-albhamu amasha, abangashadile neziqeshana zevidiyo azikhululwa ngaphansi kwaleli gama. Naphezu kwalokhu, abalandeli abacasukile, ngoba abaculi beqembu abazange bashiye isiteji, kodwa bajabulisa "abalandeli" ngomculo wezinga eliphezulu kakade ngaphansi kwamanye ama-pseudonyms okudala.
