Kit Richardson

Invincible Summer; the wicked new album, out now!

About Me

Kit is a little lady with a colossal pair of lungs.
On record she is a big slab of pretty pop, with a pinch of glitch and some bitching thrown in for good messure. Live it's banging keys, break downs and hip-hop covers (maybe the occasional Annie Lennox one too).
Kit has been writing for about a year. She learnt to play keys on her grandad's old Clavinova aged 9, but has never had a proper piano lesson. Her new album, Invincible Summer, is available at any of her gigs.
If you ask nicely, that is.
Look what the nice people at Seatwave.com said about her...

"If you want adventurous, Kit Richardson most certainly fits the bill. She is everything that new music should be about, moving the boundaries and ignoring whatever is currently deemed to be”in”. With her manic keyboard style and her amazing vocals, she is Kate Bush meets Kate Nash. The songs are brilliantly constructed and the sheer energy and innovation of her performance cannot be ignored."

How many Kit’s does it take to make an album?

Trick question.  There is no Kit.  There is also no Santa Claus and no Easter Bunny.  But those last two only exist to shatter your childish illusions, they don’t actually have an...
