This Is The Kit

Tags: seen live , folk , singer-songwriter

This Is The Kit is an English band formed by musician / singer Kate Stables (lead vocals, banjo, guitar), with: Jesse D Vernon (bass, guitar, violin), Jamie Whitby-Coles (drums), Rozi Plain (vocals, guitar), Neil Smith (guitar) and Philip Sirop (batterie).

Stables has been turning heads in all the right places since 2003: a first album KrÃ¼lle Bol produced by John Parish , singles (Two Wooden Spoons) released by Rob da Bankâ€™s label Sunday Best and a long-awaited second album on Dreamboat Records in 2010. Wriggle out the Restless was born out of a new, slower way of working. Gestated over a long period the album has drawn on This Is The Kitâ€™s many musical friends (Rozi Plain [[label]Fence ], Jim Barr [of Portishead ] Francois [Fence] and The Liftmen [[label]Twisted Nerve]) to fill out their delicate music into a full, robust sound. â€œThe aim was to have fun playing with people whoâ€™s work I really likeâ€� says Kate â€œthe more you exchange and share with people the better things get and the more you learn.â€�

This Is The Kit perform regularly as a two-piece with Stables on vocals, guitar and banjo, and Vernon on violin, guitar, bass and percussion.
