All female Guns N’ Roses tribute Paradise Kitty plays the Viper Room this week, so we had a chat about what we can expect.
L.A. WEEKLY: When did Paradise Kitty form, and why?
Bonding over a love of good rock & roll and stage sweat, we (Jenna Syde, singer and Rachael Rine, drummer) came together in 2015 to form the all girl Guns n’ Roses tribute Paradise Kitty. We’ve been breaking hearts all over the world and running from the law all ever since.  
When Slash and Duff rejoined Gn’R a few years ago, did you see an increase in interest in your band? 
Knowing of the secret reunion before it was public knowledge was part of our inspiration to start Paradise Kitty. We are honored that the members of Gn’R love and support what we do. It was very important to us to have their seal of approval before moving forward with this band. Their fan club even had us play parties and events around their tour in some cities across the US. We can’t further incriminate ourselves telling you how much fun we’ve had… after all the law is still on our tails.
What do females bring to these tunes that the guys can’t?
Maybe it’s more fun to watch us sweat? Really we are just a bunch of musicians playing great songs from a great band. We throw one hell of a party every night on stage and we are lucky that people dig it. Gn’R has some wild fans and we’re fortunate to be embraced by their amazing rock n’ roll family. One guy was even crazy enough to fly from down under to see us play!
What can we expect from this Viper set?
The Gn’R tour was called “Not In Your Lifetime.” Every time we play it’s usually “THE Night of Your Lifetime”!! This is our only L.A. show this year so if you miss it, I hope you have some airline miles built up.
What’s next, after this gig?
We have a lot of fly out shows and there’s talk of more international dates. Really though, all the Kittens are just counting down the days until we commandeer the Monsters of Rock Cruise in the Caribbean for one of the wildest music festivals on the pirate seas in Feb. For all of our most updated news follow our socials which you can link to from paradisekittyband.com  We are constantly adding new tour dates and can’t wait to raise hell with you all!
Paradise Kitty plays with Old Blood, Aunt Mary and Whiskey Hangover at 8 p.m. on Friday, September 27 at the Viper Room.
