After posting a few teasers on their Facebook page about a big announcement regarding the band's future, KITTIE have now announced the departure of their bassist Ivy Vujic and the return of Trish Doan!
In a statement on the band's website Ivy wrote:
"After 4 amazing years of jamming with my crazy Metal sisters of KITTIE, I am officially resigning as their bass player.
I've had an incredible time touring the world with these ladies and I am very grateful for all the fun I've had and amazing things I've had the opportunity to experience.
My last appearances with KITTIE will be our upcoming hometown shows in London (17th February) and Toronto (18th February), as well as the Soundwave Festival in Australia immediately after (25th February - 5th March). I wish the KITTIE girls the best of luck in all of their future endeavours and I know they will continue to be successful in whatever they do."
Trish comments:
"I am very happy to be reunited with the KITTIE family. The girls and I have remained close friends over the last 7 years and I am excited to have this amazing opportunity. I am looking forward to seeing everyone when we go back on the road this spring. I wish Ivy all the best!"
Morgan Lander about Ivy's departure and Trish's return:
"Ivy has been friend and partner in crime for over 4 years, we love and respect her wishes to depart from the band and move onto another phase in her life.
Trish has been a member of our extended family since she joined the band in 2005 and we are welcoming her back into the band with open arms.
We are ecstatic that she will be returning to bass duties and are looking forward to the (US) tour this spring! We love both girls and are glad that we all remain friends, first and foremost."
Welcome back, Trish!
