NEW! CLASSICAL MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO'S "INTERVIEW: THE GREAT KAT, VIOLIN-GUITAR VIRTUOSO AND SELF-STYLED BEETHOVEN REINCARNATE"! "A few things to know about the Great Kat: she's declared herself God, as well as the reincarnation of Beethoven. She speaks about herself in the third person. She favors leather, fishnets, and other dominatrix-inspired garb, and her signature talent is the ability to 'shred' the electric guitar. She's a Juilliard-trained violinist, but she's declared classical music 'dead.'" - Sheila Regan, MPR
Starring THE GREAT KAT Shredding on Guitar And Violin with her ALL-MALE RHYTHM GUITAR SYMPHONY, With WILLIAM TELL (Legendary Virtuoso Marksman) & GESSLER (the Austrian Overlord)!

The commercial features the heart-racing shredding guitar and violin virtuosity of The Great Kat's Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," synched perfectly in time with Call of Duty: Ghosts’ fast action bombs, explosions, and death defying feats!
MEDIABISTRO: "TAG EUROPE, TESCO USE THE GREAT KAT TO PROMOTE 'CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS'! "In a textbook display of how advertising is much different in the U.K., Tag Europe and Tesco — the world’s second largest retailer — used the music of The Great Kat in their ad for Call of Duty: Ghosts to add a sense of drama and urgency to the spot. In America, you don’t use the music of classically-trained virtuosos to sell video games, you use Eminem. The 20 second spot scores The Great Kat‘s rendition of Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” to its footage of players enjoying the game." - By Erik Oster, Mediabistro
