lyrics
You told me about a party in NYC well I guess I'm in the wrong city so why do you bother telling me? When you know I'm over seas in another country.. Its like you want me to know you don't want me to go its like you want me to care but you don't want me there I don't understand the way you communicate is this an invitation or another update?

GUM Stuck in my head, like the gum that you left Under the table by my bed Yes I know it was you it's the flavour that you chew The kind of thing you do always dropping clues coz you don't want me to forget about you Like the flower you left dying in my hair and the writing on the wall saying you were there You are always dropping clues coz you don't want me to forget about you I saw you out wearing my jacket  The one I left at yours but didn't go back to get it Now you are wearing it out What do you think about?  When you are wearing it out  Do you think about me? Does it smell of my perfume? Does that remind you of my room? Maybe I'm dropping clues  That you just can't see Coz I don't want you  To forget about me

WANNABE Every time you change your tune  They always sing along with you  Coz the wannabes Wannabe Just like you  I don't want you to know  But I do too Before you were a somebody who did you wannabe? Who did you wannabe who? Coz I would like to be like you  Someone like you A Somebody like you In you dreams you can be like me Be like me yeah in your dreams  In you dreams you can be like me Be like me yeah in your dreams Every time you change your style  You always drive them wild Coz the wannabes Wanna look  Just like you  I don't want you to know but I do too

No-One 03:34
lyrics
NO-ONE No one needs to know what goes on behind the scenes No one needs to know apart from you and me There’s a trick up my sleeve so you want me to leave? I’ll show you something There’s a trick up my sleeve so you want me to leave? I’ll tell you something baby, baby love don't baby, baby don't leave me you don't need to go baby, baby love don't baby, baby don't leave me I've got more to show It was a one night stand it was a brief romance but now we are hand in hand and I've got something planned

about

"A-SIDE" follows Lobby Star but comes before "B-SIDE" which will be released at the end of 2018. "A-SIDE/B-SIDE" will eventually come together on vinyl to complete Kitty's first LP.

Kitty Finer A-SIDE EP KF Records release date : 3rd August 2018

“Kitty is a Fine Artist who writes fantastic , intriguing and funny real songs, that run circles round the listener, with their clever twists, turns and astute observations.”
Gina Birch - The Raincoats 

Kitty Finer describes herself as a singing and dancing visual artist. She has positioned herself on the border, where music and fine art join forces.
Always drawn to cities with thriving music scenes, Kitty studied fine art in her home town London then Bristol and Glasgow where whilst doing her MFA she joined bands and ran club nights.
'RnB me up' was a club night she named and instigated in Glasgow to attract the girls (but not to deter the boys) which was put on at the legendary and now defunct Vic bar.
She went on to run regular events in London revolving around records and happenings.

She has spent the past year selling paintings and touring her one woman musical “Me and Johnny Love” which she has performed in living rooms and intimate spaces around the UK- in order to raise money to fund “A-SIDE” - her second self released EP.
Brought up by (co-founder of the Pogues ) father Jem Finer and artist mother Marcia Farquhar , it’s no surprise that the combination of hard work and punk spirit has been the driving force behind Kitty’s “just do it yourself” attitude. This is why she started her own label KF Records and since collaborating with Gina Birch on her video for underground anthem* “Girls In The Garage” (taken from debut EP Lobby Star) she gained confidence to get on with making her own videos alongside her collective of friends (models, lawyers, fashion designers, musicians, activists and rappers) .

She had an early taste of life on the road when she was spotted playing drums in her family band (with father and sound artist sister Ella Finer)- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Anarchist artist Aaron Williamson invited her to play drums in his band alongside bassist, Shanne Bradley founder member of The Nipple Erectors.
When she turned 23 she took herself to the front of the stage to sing the songs she had up her sleeve - and her first gig was supporting Mick Jones at his club night under the West way. She hasn’t looked back since.
She has performed in both planned and impromptu performances across the world: from festivals in Japan to lobbies in Las Vegas.
Along with her band, Kitty has performed in legendary London music venues, opening for The Hinds, The Veils, and The Pogues.

Is it the chutzpah or the craic? Just what is it that makes “Kitty’s songs go straight to your head and explode in your heart” Georgina Starr
Kitty’s Jewish/Celtic fusion is evident in her writing. She writes witty and astute short song-stories with a blend of social and personal comment.
Poetry, punk, art pop.
These songs leave you wanting more... there will be more- B side EP will follow later in the year and then A SIDE/B SIDE LP will be released as a limited 12” edition in early 2019.
