Artist History Kittenfreaky was started after Cindy Pop had seen a local art band of two woman named Guitar Boy and a performance poet named Barnes perform at Highways in Santa Monica. A person she had recently met came to an art show of hers and went home and sang her a song she wrote about her art show. She invited Viva to her house and found out that Viva had always wanted to start a band too and even though neither of them could play an instrument - that was how Kittenfreaky came to be. Viva left the band in July 2001 and was replaced by Nurit, soon Robin Carter joined the band, after a relentless search for a girl drummer, the Kittens met John Blue of 1000 Pieces who joined the band as a drummer. For the fun of it all he dresses like a girl and goes by the name Mary Maglite. The band is having a blast right now!

Group Members Cindy Pop on lyrics and lead vocals, Eleanor Mak on bass, violin, keyboards, autoharp and vocals, Nurit on keyboards, bass, accordian, ukelele and vocals, Robin Carter on curved soprano sax, flute and percussion and Mary Maglite (aka John Blue of 1000 Pieces and Fuzzy Starf*cker) on drums.
