Trish Doan (1985-2017)

Trish Jai-Mee Doan was born May 9th, 1985 in Gwangju, South Korea. As a child she moved to Toronto, Canada with her parents. She started playing lead and rhythm guitar at age 13. In 2006, she graduated from Sheridan College with a ‘Media Arts: Film and Television Productions’ diploma. Doan first joined KITTIE in 2005 as their bassist and 2 years later she left the band due to her ongoing struggles with the eating disorder anorexia. She later returned to KITTIE in 2012. Trish is featured on KITTIE’s EP, “Never Again” and their album Funeral for Yesterday.

Achievements:
Kittie created their own record label, Kiss of Infamy Records and used it to release their fourth studio album. The label name was later changed to "X of Infamy" after a cease-and-desist letter from attorneys representing Kiss Catalog Ltd. (the owner of the intellectual property rights pertaining to the musical group Kiss) alleging that the Kiss of Infamy trademark was "confusingly similar" to their client's trademark. Kittie's fourth studio album Funeral for Yesterday was released on February 20, 2007 through their record label. Along with the release of Funeral for Yesterday, Morgan Lander announced that Kittie would release a 45-minute-DVD with the CD. In February 2007, Kittie toured as part of the Funeral for Yesterday Tour alongside Walls of Jericho, 36 Crazyfists, Dead To Fall, and In This Moment.

Starting in early 2014 Kittie started posting on their Facebook about a secret project that was in the works. On March 8 Kittie started posting photos on their Facebook and Instagram of past and present members all together in the same room with a camera. On March 28, 2014 Kittie launched a Indiegogo campaign celebrating the impending 20th anniversary of the band, with a DVD documentary featuring past and present members and a tell all book. Their goal of $20,000 was reached in eight hours. The campaign closed on April 28, 2014, with a total amount of $40,525 raised, 203% of the initial goal. Kittie slated Rob McCallum to direct the documentary and Mark Eglinton to help pen the biography.
