Humble Beginnings, Bitter Endings and Brand New Starts.   
 
When Steve and Gary formed their first band back in 1992, they didn’t really know where it would take them or what they really wanted (apart from worldwide fame and riches beyond their wildest dreams!). The original band had the imagery of the Monkeys and personalities of the Who. They didn’t get on particularly well as people but as a band, were dynamite. An album “Progress?” was recorded which showed great promise in the songwriting partnership that Steve and Gary were developing.  
 
This great chemistry lasted for a few years until Bill the bass player and their very own Keith Moon left the band. A replacement was found, and then they recorded the tour-de-force album “Won’t Reach the Fifth”. Over the next few years they continued in the vain search for a “Won’t Reach the Sixth”. In “Won’t Reach the Fifth” they’d conquered their mountain. Now they were faced with finding another mountain to climb.  
 
Band members continued to be shed everywhere and new ones found until STIFF KITTENS as a touring band had gone as far as it was destined to go, culminating with the mini-tour of N.Y.C. in spring 2005 and then drawing to a close at the end of that year.  
 
At the start of 2006, discussions about the possibility of song-writing together again started between Gary and Steve. After all, they didn’t do such a bad job of it the last time around and further more, both at last seemed to shouting from the same script again. They decided to start writing a new STIFF KITTENS album that would comprise of just Steve and Gary doing what they did best, writing songs and having fun! The live version of the band had by now faded away and there hadn’t really been a proper full stop at the end.  If they recorded a new album of Kittens material that was of a calibre that would make them both proud then there would be the full stop they both wanted.  Also as the two original founding members, they could do really what the hell they liked!  
 
2008 HAS seen the exciting release of another STIFF KITTENS studio based album as various associated musicians get together to continue the STIFF KITTENS legacy. In 2008, STIFF KITTENS released the album “While you were asleep. We changed the world”. It heralded a new era for the bands two core members. The album spawned TWO AWARD WINNING TRACKS, “A tale from the black wood” and “Graceland Graves” and a renewed sense of purpose. The band then played their first live date in four years at The Exposure Music Awards © in Cheltenham University in April 2009 and realised that they had inadvertently formed a superb studio based band comprising of drummer, Simon Rogers and producer and multi-instrumentalist Lynden Price. This same team is currently recording the next STIFF KITTENS album, entitled “THE EXTINCTION PROJECT” which is due for release in the fall of 2010.
