Naturally, there's going to be a limited audience for a lo-fi femini-snarl punk group whose only instruments are bass, drums and a vintage telephone receiver (used for vocal effect). Kitten Forever is really testing those limits, though. The Minneapolis trio earned raves opening for hometown heroes Babes in Toyland on tour last fall and followed it up with one of this year's most riotously fun punk albums, "7 Hearts," a spastic, smarmy but smart blast of 15 songs in 30 minutes. Limited or not, Kitten Forever's audience is quickly becoming national. Local fans couldn't be prouder.
