Pages 94 - 103 │Lotus Eaters, part II│Read by Kate Stables

Kate Stables, a Paris resident for sixteen years, is perhaps better known fronting her band thisisthekit. About 12 years ago she also started doing children's music and stories at Shakespeare and Company on the occasional Wednesday afternoon. 

This Is The Kit is the musical project of Paris-based, British musician Kate Stables along with Rozi Plain (bass/vocals), Neil Smith (guitar), Jesse D Vernon (guitar/keyboards) and Jamie Whitby-Coles (drum/vox). Listen as Kate rips forward with her hypnotic twang pattern and a voice of rare, unaffected beauty.

The band’s fifth album Off Off On (2020), following the critically acclaimed Moonshine Freeze (2017), sees Kate Stables working with producer Josh Kaufman – New York-based musician, Hold Steady collaborator and member of Bonny Light Horseman and Muzz.
