"HIP KITTY BAND SELECTED TO PERFORM AT"

Take some Gwen Stefani, add a little Pat Benatar and you end up with the hard rocking, soul smashing, sexy, finger popping-get-up-and-dancevocals of Hip Kitty's lead singer, Jen Halverson.

Now, throw in some incredible guitar rifts and hard rocking drums and you get the whole Hip Kitty Band. The band consists of Lead Vocalist, Jen Halverson, Lead and Rhythm Guitar, Mike Goncalves, Keys and Harmony Vocals, Gary Bennett and Drummer, Arick Seal. Halverson may look like the girl next store off stage, but on stage she breaks loose with a wide vocal range and a sassy and sexy presence.

Hip Kitty's debut album "Good Enough To Lick" defines all angles of rock music with tear jerking power ballads like "For Crying Out Loud" to today's rock/rap style of "Ain't No Doubt", which many listeners say should be at the top of the charts. From rock to rap to R & B, this group has it. The album can be purchased off of HIP KITTY'S website at www.hipkittyband.com.

The Hip Kitty band was selected from a large number of performers and groups that wanted the opportunity to perform at this event. "We wanted to showcase a really hot independent band and man, with Hip Kitty, we found it. This group should be at the top of the charts without a doubt," states Catherine Masters, CEO and Founder of the National Women's Football Association. Masters should know what she's talking about. She is a former music industry executive.

"Review From Norway"

Since Hip Kitty started, they have been very active playing live on clubs, festivals and they also played at Vanderbilt stadium (Superbowl), and at the National Women's Football Assoc. Pre-Game Party and in December they played in a prison in Tennessee.

Hip Kitty is a band set together of different musicians with different musical backgrounds. Their music is a mix of hard rock, A.O.R, melodic rock, pop and in one of the songs they also have mix in some rap elements. Since I received their album, Good Enough To Lick!, I have listened to it several times. The band is fronted by vocalist Jen Halverson, who is a really great singer. Her voice can be compared with Pat Benatar, Pink and Linda Sundblad in Lambretta. Musically I hear most elements from the eighties and the music reminds me very much of the style Pat Benatar had in the mid eighties. But Hip Kitty is a young band and they have managed to mix in elements of modern melodic rock and pop and even some elements of rap, nu-metal and nu-breed. It has become a very interesting album and after some listenings it`s easy to be hooked on their songs. Hollywood Girls is the first track on the album, it has the right punch in it and already here we hear that Jen is the perfect choice to sing Hip Kitty's songs with her very good voice. The instrumental skills from Mike, Gary and Arick are of high caliber and the rhythm section sounds tight. I specially noticed the guitar playing from Mike, with nice riffs and small technical bits and solos on every song. Just A little Girl is a bit softer than the first song, but I like the way the song is built up, it starts slow and builds up through a great refrain part. I am sure this song could have reach big heights with some playing time on radio and TV. The twelve songs are strong with standout tracks like Drama Queen, Motorcycle, Rock N`Roll Girl, Runaway and the ballad For Cryin`Out Loud. They have also made a cover of the song Always On My Mind, originally performed by Willie Nelson. Hip Kitty handles it very good and it`s a very fine acoustical version they have made of the song. I hope we will be hearing more from Hip Kitty in the future, they are a young great band with great songs and with potential to get a big career out in the world!
