Hip-hop, reggae and hardcore influenced band, INSOLENCE began in 1995, in the depths of the streets of San Jose , California .

With a growing fan base, INSOLENCE spread to other countries, as they toured through Europe in the summer of 1998 and 1999 and teamed with their ex -management, Nova Entertainment, signed a record deal with Madonna's record label, Maverick Records.

Shortly thereafter, the band began touring in the states in support of the album, alongside Black Sheep, Hoobastank, Ill Nino, Soulfly, Corporate Avenger, Kottonmouth Kings, and Insane Clown Posse.

I just started a fundraiser for Cat House on the Kings Sanctuary to raise money for them to use for their senior center and for their kitten quarantine center! I have set a goal of raising $5000 in 12 months. Please visit my Firstgiving.com page to donate safely and securely: http://www.firstgiving.com/cathouseonthekingsfundraiser
The senior center is a mobile home that was previously a rental. It needs lots of help including: new roof, appliances, flooring, furniture, cat beds, a medical cart and they want fencing so these older cats can go out and enjoy the sun and have their own space away from the other animals. A home-like setting indoors can make all of the difference for these older, more fragile kitties.
The kitten quarantine is set up to keep the kittens safe while they build up their immune systems. They have lots of room to run and play. I saw this mobile home that was turned into a kitten quarantine and the kittens were just loving it while running around playing and have a good time. The kittens need more scratching posts, cat trees and litter boxes. They also need fencing for this area so the kittens can go outside and enjoy the sun.
