Kitty Wu
Kitty Wu was a Danish alternative rock band, named after a character in Paul Auster's novel Moon Palace. Kitty Wu was founded in 1998 in Copenhagen.
Their debut album, Privacy, released in 2001 to positive reviews. The following releases The Rules of Transportation (2003) and Knives and Daggers (2005) further cemented the band's uncompromising reputation. These albums also marked the beginning of a series of artistic relationships with some musical profiles who helped shape Kitty Wu, among them Guy Fixsen (Pixies, My Bloody Valentine) and, most importantly, the band's mentor Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey, Marianne Faithfull, Anna Calvi). In 2009, Kitty Wu released their fourth album Someone Was Here, an album that, despite a wider soundscape, was to be their first as a trio. Their 5th album, Carrier Pigeons, was released in 2012.[1]
Kitty Wu supported Muse during their Scandinavian and Finnish gigs on their Absolution Tour (on the 2003 European leg), both Helsinki concerts, at Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen.
