New York Magazine Features The Great Kat!

“The Great Kat. The High Priestess of Guitar Shred. She can play ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ at 300 beats per minute! Wagner’s War, a no-holds-barred response to September 11, includes a cover of that tender Nazi classic ‘Flight of the Valkyries.’  Her followers (the ‘Kat slaves’) think she’s just the soldier America needs. Ranked among ‘The Ten Fastest Shredders of All Time.’ Totally spoiling her crazy-lady rep: She studied classical violin at Juilliard.”
