KITTIE\u00a0is pleased to announce the return of bassist\u00a0Trish Doan\u00a0to the band following the departure of\u00a0Ivy Vujic. Doan was previously with the band from 2005-2007, appearing on the band’s 2007 release “Funeral for Yesterday.”<\/p>\n

Ivy adds her own words,\u00a0“After four amazing years of jamming with my crazy metal sisters, I am officially resigning. After a lot of touring and two albums, I feel it is time for me to move on. There are still other things for me to do in my life. Although I will always appreciate Kittie and the amazing fans we have, it does not fit my plans right now.”\u00a0A full statement can be read\u00a0HERE.<\/p>\n

Trish will join the band live after their upcoming\u00a0SOUNDWAVE FESTIVAL<\/a>\u00a0appearance in Australia and upcoming hometown shows later this month are completed. Doan comments,<\/p>\n

“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!”<\/p>\n

The band is excited to do one more batch of live dates with Ivy as it gives fans a prime opportunity to come out and say their goodbyes.\u00a0“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.”\u00a0says front woman Morgan Lander.<\/p>\n

KITTIE\u00a0will hit the road this spring in continued support of their latest release. Morgan concludes,\u00a0“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.\u00a0 We are ecstatic that she will be returning to bass duties and are looking forward to the tour this spring! We love both girls and are glad that we all remain friends, first and foremost.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
