6kitty is a 3-piece, female-fronted indie rock band from Chicago. The longtime friends formed as a band in 2018 and share a commitment to creativity and a love of music ranging from Courtney Barnett to the Beths to hometown heroes, Local H. Their dynamic sound has been compared to Vanishing Kids, UV-TV, and the Pixies. They fuse blended vocal harmonies, melodic forward bass lines, and hard-hitting drums. They love playing live shows, connecting with audiences, and having fun onstage.
6kitty released their first album, Tux, on 11/11/22 which was included in Fast ‘n’ Bulbous’ Top 100 Albums of 2022 and ranked #6 in the Art Pop and Dream Pop category. They’ve been featured multiple times on WNUR’s Power Pop Shoppe and on Radio DePaul’s Rare Candy.

I listened to the album Tux and I loved it. My favorite track was My World…the backing vocals halfway through sent me to heaven and the beginning with just the isolated bass line reminded me of a Breeders song.

“6 Kitty’s debut LP ‘Tux’ is an irresistible blend of 90s alt-rock and dream pop with fuzzy melodic guitar lines, a thumping rhythm section, alluring vocals and big hooks that have me singing along with every word.
