Hailing from Ontario,Canda,Mercedes Lander and the girls from kittie are smashing the mould of "chick bands"Mercedes'emotionally charged stle has been sescribed as "a god dame smack in the face with a crowbar" and a "relentless pot of fury" she is a gifted astist,composer and performer. And her distinctively fierce drumming style has blown critics away with months agape.
Mercedes lander born on the 6th of January 1984. She met fallon in a gym class and from the start they were friends, they found that they had the same interest in music. this friendship and shared interest later ment they got together and started playing in the lander's basement, soon they were joined by morgan and a young kittie was born.

because she was the founding member of kittie mercedes takes a front role in the band and is a self-proclaimed exhibitionist. because she is the sister of the lead singer morgan the band is certainly run by the lander's.
