Overview
If you're familiar with Cat Power (aka Chan Marshall), then you know how badass she is. Her singer-songwriter meets rock star persona sets her apart as one of the more unique musicians out there. Those who saw her at Golden Plains Music Festival this past March know what we're talking about. Don't fret if you missed her then, because you'll soon have another chance. Cat Power is crossing the pond again for an Australian tour this summer.
Cat Power's ten-show tour will kick off this January at the Sydney Festival. It was just announced that she would be a guest performer at the festival's Big Star tribute show alongside Jody Stephens, Mike Mills (R.E.M.), Ken Stringfellow (The Posies), Chris Stamey (The dB's), Mitch Easter (Let's Active), Edwyn Collins and Kurt Vile.
Power's Sydney shows will continue the day after at the Circus Ronaldo Tent with a matinee and midnight show. After, she'll continue down the coast, performing in Milton, Canberra, Melbourne, Menniyan and concluding in Perth. So if you haven't heard Cat Power in a while, it'll be worth your hitting up one of her shows. Her newish album, Sun, is freshly awesome and and her blonde coif is shocking, but that's why we love Cat. She always keeps you coming back for more.
