The Cat Empire

Has anyone seen these guys live before. Think they headlined the Jazz World stage a couple of years ago. They are doing a UK & Ireland tour in October. Are they worth seeing live?

Yes they're awesome. One of the most entertaining gigs I've ever been to. Are they playing this year?

Got dragged along by a friend to see these at the academy in Leeds last summer. Really entertaining live show, they'd be spot on on the Jazzword i reckon.

They are my favourite band and favourite live act. Seen them 4 times before too, their shows are addictive! Am seeing them twice in October woop. I don't think they will play because I don't think they are nearby at the time as they're Australian. I would love to be wrong though!

Im sure i read on a prvious post here, that they were a very strong shot at playing this year, turned it down last year, felt they werent ready. could be worng though

They're my favourite band, saw them at Manchester academy 2 last year and they were superb.

They're far and away number one on my all time last.fm chart, almost stalkerishly so I've been hoping they'd play, it'd make my festival if they did. One of my favourite moments from glasto last year was when we were on a twisted bimble and we found this crazy little place playing the lost song. Fingers crossd for this year :-)

I was at that gig - it was awesome. They would be brilliant Jazzworld or Park but in all honesty I can't see them making the trip from Australia just for 1 gig when they're back in the UK in October. Website says they're in America in July, Aus in August.

My somewhat damaged mind seems to recall somebody having twitted them (is that the correct vernacular?) last year to be told that they'd 'had enough mud to last a very long time' or something to that effect.

I'd be there with maracas!

They are brilliant live - one of the most fun/energetic shows i've seen!

"Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, dra-drink, drink, drink, drink...." Perfect for Jazzworld and the Brothers Bar!

I have seen these guys at Glastonbury, they played the Avalon tent a few years ago so it's not totally out of the question...

It's days like these you get what you want ;-)
