On Sunday night I had the pleasure of seeing The Cat Empire play one of their biggest Aussie headline shows at Sydney’s Hordern, following on from the soulful Mama Kin, and the fun and theatrical Clairy Browne and The Bangin’ Rackettes.

The guys were on fire, having already toured their latest album Cinema throughout Canada and the US and being half-way through their only Aussie tour this year. The crowd loved it, with hands in the air and hips shaking for all 2 hours. Sometimes I forget what a fun, festive, noisy, and captivated bunch The Cat Empire fans are. When Felix asked everyone to get down on the ground for ‘Fishes’ ,all 5,000 fans did, only to leap up into the air and keep dancing. It was amazing!

There are only a couple of dates left so jump onto thecatempire.com to get tickets, or onto The In Song to buy Cinema.
