Copy Kitten

About Me


It was a cold, wet winter's day when Peter met Polly in a dreary toilet cafe situated somewhere in Brick Lane, the capital of London's 'lo-fi "scene". It started with a simple question to find the nearest tube station, but quickly turned into an intense conversation of their mutual loves.
The husband and wife (for they had apparently married each other, long ago) had no idea they had so much in common. After they had both warmed up from the harsh weather, they decided it was best all round to musically collaborate and bring together their love for curries and cheap public transport.
Peter helped Polly find the rare Kimya Dawson vinyl she had been after, they headed off into the sunset for their first ever band practice as Copy Kitten.... And some delicious Pumpkin Ale.
You might recognise Peter and Polly from various other bands - one of the most successful being The Red Disco. They had lots of dreadfully silly songs about Cabarets and Mice and definately turned a head or two with their mad hair and sparkly outfits.
After their reunion on Brick Lane they formed the idea for Copy Kitten, deciding it would bring much cheer into the world.
