INSANE SHREDDERS!
The Great Kat
SIGNATURE SONG: “The Flight of the Bumble Bee”
Beethoven on Speed

"It’s hard to know whether the Great Kat’s thrash metal interpretations of classical music compositions are meant to be taken seriously—especially when her albums have titles like Beethoven on Speed, Bloody Vivaldi and Rossini’s Rape—but when this Juilliard-trained virtuoso plays it’s certainly no joke. With a heavy leather dominatrix persona so over the top that she makes Yngwie Malmsteen seem like Tony Randall, the Great Kat would make a fine role model for young ladies who want to shred if she didn’t scare the living shit out of them."

ITALIAN KAT-POSSESSED SLAVES UNITE!!
"Born Katherine Thomas, this grotesque crossing between Cindy Lauper and Vittorio Sgarbi is a graduate of the prestigious Juilliard School in violin, but her motivating force very soon changed the classics for the guitar and proclaimed herself the new Messiah of NeoClassical Metal."  - Constantino Della Gherardesca Blog (Italy)

ATTENTION MICHIGAN KAT SLAVES!!
The Great Kat in THE GRAND RAPIDS PRESS!
"The Great Kat, violin virtuoso turned phenomenal neo-classical guitar shredder, is ... named 'Top 10 Fastest Shredders of All Time.' With her, the themes of Beethoven become a projectile.  A feline feeding instruments through a shredder may sound like news to you, but we in the music biz know shredder is merely a term for a guitarist who plays with blinding speed, so fast that nobody, not even the musician, knows if he/she is hitting the right notes. But expelling Beethoven themes as a projectile, well, that's appalling, not to mention messy and probably in violation of some classical music regulation. - By John Sinkevics, The Grand Rapid Press

The variety and technicality of the whole album is just astounding, truly amazing." - Bryer Wharton, SlugMag.com
