Kitten Berry Crunch made alot more sense of a name when Shaun Hettinger started this 80's-loving synth-pop band with his cat Nico in Los Angeles. Then he broke-up with his girlfriend; She kept the cat and he kept the stupid band name.

Now based out of Brooklyn 2 years later, Kitten Berry Crunch recently released it's debut single on iTunes & the accompanying music video for "When This Is Over." The song received a major indie-dance upgrade courtesy of DFA Records' engineer Abe Seiferth as well as a hilarious 2.5 minute video. Featuring real cats playing instruments, this video quickly garnered buzz on the interwebs & went viral.

One person watching was a luminary NYC party promoter who booked the new 5-person synth-pop band's first live show alongside Vito from THE RAPTURE. The live incarnation - featuring Christina Cone (vocals/keys), Harry Magzul (guitar), Dan Morosi (drums) & Sean Silva (bass) - is a whole beast of it's own, infusing the 80's dance party grooves with infectious Indie-rock energy.
