This Is The Kit is the alias of British singer-songwriter Kate Stables, who formed the project in the early 2000s in Winchester, England. Initially a solo outlet, it developed into a collaborative indie folk rock group with core members Rozi Plain, Neil Smith, and Jamie Whitby-Coles.

The band's sound is characterised by Stables's distinctive, earnest vocals and banjo playing, with elements of alternative rock and psychedelia. Their discography includes seven studio albums, with the latest, Ghost Coat, due for release in January 2027 on Memphis Industries. This new album explores themes of loneliness, solitude, and isolation, with contributions from notable musicians such as Richard Dawson and Ben Howard.

This Is The Kit has gained a reputation for their captivating live performances, with a live line-up that can range from a duo to a five-piece. The band has toured in support of prominent artists like The National and Iron & Wine, and has received long-time support from BBC 6 Music DJs, including Guy Garvey. With their unique sound and intimate setting, this performance at Resident Music is set to be a memorable experience.
