STIFF KITTIE'S PUBLIC DEBUT!
Dec 22, 2005
After wanting to play there for years, Stiff Kittie finally played an acoustic show at their favorite coffee hangout, THE BEAN SCENE. The house was totally packed, with people sitting on the floor in their very first official "Public" concert. The show opened with an awesome slowed down rendition of Chicks Are Weird, with special guest, Santa Claus on the bongos. Of course, what SK Christmas concert would be complete without Christmas songs!? The highlight of the show was Bad Dream, one of their newest songs, which progressed into a Christmas medley during the middle of the song. Silver Bells was amazing with the whole place singing along. It sounded like Christmas Carolers! The show ended with a bang with Jenny (867-5309) and The Pretender's 500 Miles, with the whole place singing along and the boys going crazy. This was a great public debut for Stiff Kittie, and the Bean Scene has welcomed them to come back anytime! They WILL be back!

STIFF KITTIES 2nd HALLOWEEN CONCERT GOES PLUGGED
Oct 29, 2005
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who came to support us! We haven't had that much fun since...the last concert! It really was a great time and we had a total blast playing for everyone. It was great to see some old fans and LOTS of new faces. We hope you all had a great time and will come see us again for our annual Christmas Concert!
 
Steve and Kevin would like to thank a few people for making this show happen:
First, a BIG BIG thanks to David and Jim. We couldn't do it without you guys. Thanks for all the hard work in such a short amount of time. We love you guys! Second, a big thanks to Steve's parents, for putting up with our noise for the last month. We appreciate you letting us practice in the house...even at 11 pm. We owe a SUPER big thanks to Bonnie and Mike Walker. They were so kind to let us use the Clubhouse, help set up, and help tear down. A million thanks to you guys for making this happen! Much thanks to Blake for video taping the show. We played so long we ran out of tape halfway through! Also a big thanks to Erica for all the help decorating, shopping, and help during practice. You're the best! Stiff Kittie loves to play no matter what, but it wouldn't mean as much without our fans there. We want to thank every single one of you who came out to see us. It means the world to be playing for the people we love. As we continue to evolve with every show, it's so awesome to see all of your faces as we grow and change for every concert. Stiff Kittie Loves you! And finally....the big man upstairs must be a Stiff Kittie fan...because he always lets us pull it off. With all the trouble we had pulling this show together with just a few practices, we did it! Thanks again to everyone! You guys were awesome singers and dancers and we can't wait to do it again at Christmas!!!

A ROCKIN DECEMBER
December 23, 2003
Wowing an intimate crowd against the soft glow of a burning fireplace,Stiff Kittie played their annual Christmas show "Stiff Kittie Ate Your Christmas Tree 2003." This year, they boys opened up with their favorite christmas classic, Burl Ive's Jingle Jingle Jingle--Stiff Kittie style. Kevin was hilarious on his wooden flute while Steve's voice sparkled in this wonderful rendition. All the classics were played, including a special version of ET with both of them doing kazoo solos, and a home made shaker pedal invention used during Girls Fart. It was hilarious! The high point of the concert however had to be Christmas Cookies, a special song written just for that concert. It started off sounding like a sweet song about the joys of Christmas...but turned out to be a song about christmas cookies! During the song, special cookies were passed out to the crowd made with love by Steve's grandma. They even had double sprinkles! Once everyone had a cookie they started singing "So take yo cookie and throw it in tha air, take yo cookie and throw it in the air, take yo cookie and throw it in tha air, and eat it like you just don't care!" Everyone in the crowd was waving their cookies in the air...it was so funny! Another great Stiff Kittie concert! Can't wait until next year!!
