The Lounge Kittens Announce Farewell Tour

Comedy trio The Lounge Kittens have announced they will be splitting up after their 2020 shows.

The band have revealed three dates for February next year, which will act as their farewell run after a seven-year career.

The Lounge Kittens fell victim to the closure of PledgeMusic, leaving themselves out of pocket for thousands of pounds.

“It was never about the money,” says Zan Lawther, “But the stress of the PledgeMusic situation definitely played a part in our decision. To work that hard for so long and still not be able to pay the bills at the end of it all is disappointing and it can’t help but suck a little bit of the fun out of things. And we never, ever want it to stop being fun. That’s the whole point of everything.”

“We never expected even a quarter of the experiences and opportunities we've been lucky enough to share together," adds Jen Deacon. "No amount of music appreciation, research, reading or practice can really prepare you for the ups and downs that come with being in a band, but through all the difficulties we’ve met so many incredible fans along the way."
