Tour Announcement: The Cat Empire

Words by Scenewave Australia - Published on August 18, 2014

To the delight of the legions of diehard Australian fans, the funked up lads from The Cat Empire are again hitting the road on their ‘Steal the Light’ worldwide tour, consisting of a massive seventy shows on four continents – including Australia. No doubt with them will be a veritable orchestra of instruments; trumpets, trombones, guitars, drums and anything else that can blast out some jazz inspired tunes. The Cat Empire has legendary status when it comes to live shows – and with their most recent album in tow, this one is unlikely to be any different. I mean, who doesn’t want to dance along to Sly, The Car Song and Two Shoes?

Of course, an unconventional band requires some unconventional support acts. Accompanying the group on tour will be Madre Monte, a nine-piece Latin reggae group that channel a supposed musical history lesson into their high-octane Columbian infused performances. Tom Thum will also join them along the way in most shows, using just a single microphone to create mind blowing soundtracks, sounds and beats akin to entire orchestra.

So be prepared for a night that perhaps may deafen but will surely delight.
