I think we can all admit it starts to get annoying when you see the same old artists at every festival, as if it's a clause in some Australian music law book to let them play every year (The Living End/Hilltop Hoods, I'm looking at you). One such band who could never fall into the annoying category are The Cat Empire, pioneers at the festival and gig game and who will never become just another band you roll your eyes at when the Next Generic Music Festival line-up is announced.
In case you weren't aware of the big band experience that is The Cat Empire, they have been around for ten years now and are celebrating it in quite an original manner - they know you've probably seen them heaps of times in the last decade, but they want you to go back to the time you first saw them. Were you at The Zoo, crammed up with your face against the speaker? Or was it in a classier setting, such as The Tivoli? Well, to reignite your memory and your love for their jazzy upbeat sing-a-longs, The Cat Empire have given you the option of seeing them at either or both of these venues! Three of the four dates have sold out, so get your two shoes on and get in quick.
