Spokane’s Itchy Kitty specializes in songs that are short, fast, loud and sometimes about cats. Fronted by cousins Ami Elston and Naomi Eisenbrey, the band has been a staple of the local scene for a few years, developing a cult following with their feline-and-leather aesthetic. Their debut album, gloriously titled Careless Whisker, is being distributed on cassette (because all thrash punk sounds better that way) by local label Resurrection Records; buy a copy at the Dipper this weekend and mosh like it’s 1991 again.
