Nice Ass was the first proper full-length album by the band Free Kitten, released in 1995 on Kill Rock Stars.[5]
Critical reception
The Dallas Observer called the album a "sloppy pastiche of punk and funk [that] operates on the sort of wit that rhymes 'split ends' with 'Michael Jackson and his little friends.'"[6]
