Morgan Lander of Kittie reflected on the band’s reunion after a long hiatus in a recent interview with Rock 108 radio station. She compared their return to that of Mötley Crüe:
“As far as Mötley Crüe, in comparison to us going away and coming back, didn’t they make a big announcement? They signed some stuff saying they were never gonna come back and then they went back on that a few years later. So for us, it was different because we didn’t make an announcement. And that was, I would say, intentional.”
She continued:
“For us, Kittie is a big part of who we are, and we wanted to be able to keep the legacy alive, whether or not we were actively making music and touring and stuff like that. And so there was always a little glimmer of hope in the future that maybe one day something could potentially happen. But we didn’t wanna make any grand declarations because we ourselves were not entirely sure that that was going to be the end of things. Sometimes life pulls you in a different direction, and I think that’s okay. You find out more about who you are and what you really want out of life. And then, when things are right again, like they are right now, it’s the right time.”
This captures Morgan Lander’s perspective on Kittie’s approach to their hiatus and eventual reunion, emphasizing their desire to maintain flexibility and keep their options open while not making definitive statements about their future.
