Cat Empire

[Hobo[IG leader]]

Hey just out of interest, who here knows/likes The Cat Empire (preferably outside of Australia, but aussies are welcome too!)? I have a friend who is convinced no-one outside of OZ knows them...

Just went to a concert of theirs today, was in-freakin-credible. Man they are so sick, was moshing for 2 hrs straight!!! Now my legs hurt...

Are you guys serious that you don't know Cat Empire? Or have you just not read my thread?

Hey,

Glad to see you went to a gig that was worth it! Sounded really fun, were you at the front or what?

I like them, wouldn't mind getting their latest album. It got good ratings in Rolling Stone I have heard about 3 songs on Triple J, I like Protrons, Nutrons, Electrons and The Car Song. I knew that Harry had talent! Now I can hear him sing!

Wouldn't mind seeing them live too, so I am taking that they are a recommendation to see live?

Finally, someone who's heard of them...you guys suck, you know that don't you !

Yeah me and a bunch of friends were pretty close to the front, we were rockin it out so badly...it was an under 18's and one of us still tried to crowd-surf...landed on some 14 year old chick or something. He felt kinda bad...turns out that we are both friends with a girl who goes to the same school as the 'victim'...

Yeah definitly get their new album! It's really good from start to finish. It's pretty 'happy' music if you ask me but that's a nice change from Metallica and System for me...

When they are back in OZ, you would do really well to see them live! It was soooo amazing...when they get back from Europe and America they'll probably do a few gigs in Melbourne so I'll probably check them out!

I have a track by them, "All That Talking," and I enjoy it reasonably.

The Cat Empire. I've certainly heard of them on account of the fact that I live in their hometown - Melbourne (yay!). Not a bad band - I quite enjoyed listening to them last year, but have got over them since. First album is better than the second one IMO. It is good to see some variety in style tho with the horns and stuff - hardly any bands are original these days.

My brother has their cd. I think they're alright, though not the sort of stuff that I'd mosh to myself.

Seeing as they have recently got to No.1 on the albums chart here, I'm sure that Virgin records will do the rounds with pushing them overseas.
