And the idea of catcalling, it’s an offensive thing to do, right? But I was like, what if I just reclaimed it? Like, dude, like, I’m Kat Kalling now! It’s kind of ‘ode to feminism.’ It’s a play on my name. It also just radiates badass energy! Kat Kalling started as a persona, but she’s developed into literally who I am.” Hard to believe Kat once went by Katy this giddily swearing, heavily tattooed raconteur whose sometimes zany, sometimes harrowing life stories fuel indie pop ballads that soar high with feeling but still thrum hard with raucous saloon clamor.She calls herself an “emo cowgirl” and, well, that nails it.
