Hello! We are going on a wee tour and would love to see you.
We are also back in Wavefield Recording Studios this month to finish cooking our bangers so they will be ready to serve on tour. This is how people speak in the industry, right?

Feeling very grateful and Kateful.

Happy International Women's Day.

We formed The Kates to play music written by women, to highlight the contribution of trailbazers, those who have been underrepresented at festivals, on radio.. to be the change we want to see.
Follow your dreams, we love you and thank you for your support always.
