Born August 1st (year unknown), Kitty started drumming in elementary school, but stopped in middle school. She was storing her drums at a friend's house, but the friend's mom didn't like all the equipment taking up room, so she arranged for another friend to hold on to it. Unfortunately, that friend thought it had been given to them, and ended up pawning it. Years later, while attending the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, she ran intoJimmy Urine, whose band, Mindless Self Indulgence, had shows booked but no drummer. She then offered to play for them (using a borrowed kit) until they found a permanent drummer. Later she was offered a chance to play with MSI permanently, and started playing again. When returning the borrowed drum kit, the owner let her keep it. A boutique drum shop built a custom fit, jazz-sized kit, which she used for years until she obtained a Pearl sponsorship in 2008. Kitty plays an acoustic drum kit (In "Evening Wear", the steel drums) which is augmented by backing tracks consisting of sampled "loops" for the live show. She uses Pearl drums, Zildjian cymbals, Pearl hardware, Evans drum heads, and Pro-Mark sticks. She is one of the original members of MSI.

Nyango Star: The Heavy Metal Cat Mascot Saving A Japanese Farm (HBO)
Nyango Star is one of Japan’s most popular mascots, but you might know him best as a meme.
He’s an apple that’s been inhabited by the spirit of a dead cat, and he absolutely shreds on the drums. Very cute but also very metal.
Nyango Star is what’s known in Japan as a yuru-chara — which translates loosely to “chill mascot.”
Japanese yuru-chara can represent everything from police departments to restaurants to government initiatives.
Nyango Star represents Kuroishi City — a farming community in Japan’s northern prefecture of Aomori — where the population is declining and aging. But Kuroishi’s mayor is hoping Nyango Star’s viral success will help the shrinking town maintain economic viability.
VICE News went to Japan to meet with Nyango Star and his management team and get an inside loo...
