Hide AdJoined by Rozi Plain (bass/vocals), Neil Smith (guitar), Jesse D. Vernon (guitar/keyboards) and Jamie Whitby-Coles (drum/vox), the
band have mastered their unique art of blending poignant honesty with moving story-telling.
This is The Kit began as Kate Stables’ brainchild, where she evolved from the trumpet and guitar of her youth, to the multi-instrumental line-up of musicians and producers that the band is known for today.
After moving to Bristol in 2003, she began working with legendary producers such as PJ Harvey’s John Parrish.
