Another highlight from the Lacoste house at Coachella this year. We’re big fans of Kitten, a lot of folks had been talking about their show at SXSW this year being one of the highlights there and Chloe’s bandmate Max is a friend who also sat in on some other great sessions with us. Here, Kitten’s Chloe Chaidez takes on Cat Power’s “The Greatest” solo. Pretty cool title card… anyway, we closed the door, a little sort of awkward quietness and then she goes into it, and folks were just sitting listening with their mouths open. Chloe’s only 15 but she sings with the power and with the soul of someone years older, she’s been compared to a young Karen O or Emma Richardson, but on this day, it was just a room full of people listening kind of stunned and amazed; word started to go around right afterwards, “man, did you hear that girl from Kitten.” Thing is, 15 is young, but at the same time plenty of the kids abducted and forced to fight in the LRA or made to be the “wives” of soldiers are her age or younger, so we thought it was really powerful to have a young voice making that connection here. Many thanks to Chloe and the guys from Kitten for coming out and getting down with the cause.
