This Is The Kit
This Is The Kit is Kate Stables playing banjo, guitar and a voice of unaffected clarity accompanied by her Wild Band creating primal and electric textures onto songs of unpretentious beauty. Their 2008 album Krülle Bol, was produced by legendary English songwriter and composer John Parish (who has also worked previously with Eels, Tracy Chapman and Sparklehorse) whilst 2010's Wriggle Out The Restless featured members ofFrancois & The Atlas Mountains, The Liftmen and Get The Blessing to name but a few resulting in high profile support slots for internationally acclaimed heavyweights such asThe National, Jeffrey Lewis, José González and more.

2012 saw the band play 100 shows (including several sell out gigs in London and across the rest of the UK), record another radio session for Marc Riley on BBC6, play five dates as support for Sharon van Etten, make a first appearance on Other Voices not to mention finding themselves the focus of special features within the pages of national newspapers The Guardian and The Independent. 2013 will see an international album release on US label Brassland.
