The Kittens were a Canadian three piece noise rock band, with some country influences, from Winnipeg. The band was known for its intense live performances and heavy beat.
Shawn Fedorchuk, Russ Desjardine and Steve Kellas started Kittens together after they disbanded their previous band, Batsweat, recruiting drummer David Kelly and released the album Like A Plough on cassette. Desjardine (who went on to play bass in Artificial Joy and helped found The Bonaduces as drummer) and Steve then left the band and Jahmeel Russell joined on bass.
Kittles released several albums on Sonic Unyon in the late 1990s. After disbanding for almost eight years, they had a reunion show on News Years of 2007.
Russell is now a member of Projektor. David Kelly died in Los Angeles,CA in March 2008.
In 2014, Blunderspublik released an album, Kittens and Shit, commemorating Winnipeg's 1990s bands, including Kittens.
