Kat will perform at the free "Santa's Got a GTO, Vol. 2" record release show tomorrow night (December 7th from 7-10pm) at La Luz de Jesus Gallery (4633 Hollywood Bl Hollywood, CA 90027) along with some of the other bands on the compilation.
She will also co-headline a show at the Hi Hat on Dec. 14 with
Jennie Vee.
Kat tells Buzzbands, "I was driving back from
Vegas with my friend and director, Kansas Bowling," Meoz explains. "She got a call from Rodney, telling her that he was short one song for his Christmas compilation. … The day before, Rodney had played my song 'LA Don't Love You' on his show, so I felt confident interrupting their phone call to announce that I would like a chance to write an original for the compilation. His response was that it would have to be done, fully mastered, in a week's time to be considered for the vinyl release. I asked him what specifically he would want the Christmas song to be about and he said something about Hollywood.
"Two days later, I was at Seahorse
Sounds Studio recording a Christmas song I had written with some of my closest music friends. Eric Weaver (Iggy Azalea, Camila) and Kyle Biane (Pacific Radio) produced the song, and Eliot Lorango and Salvatore Joseph played bass and drums respectively. My friend
Emery Becker came to the studio to film behind the scenes, and I told him that I just kept seeing myself as a giant Christmas tree eating alone in a diner or playing at the beach with some girls. The finished song was approved, and I approached Kansas to help me make a video. I told her my idea and she loved it, taking it one step further, saying that I should be stalking Rodney as the Christmas tree. Rodney was on board to be in the video, offering his bad-ass GTO for production value."
