About Kat Falcone:
Kat Colt emerged from an ancient bog with a song in their heart and a fascination with toads, long-nosed gar, and other tragic creatures.
They are also the front person of glam metal band The Mall Goth Moths (est. 1914).
Drawing from a lifelong background in music, Kat’s work is rooted in storytelling, the devotion to the unknown, and the once-in-a-lifetime experience of being alive (for now).
