A dedicated Late Greats reader wondered if I had a wake up mix to go with my day ending mix. As luck with have it, I do. I like to put parameters on my mixes; otherwise it's just too difficult compiling a CD's worth of music. Like the mix of album ending tracks, these are all songs that start albums, track number one (see the parallel?). This mix starts are slow and builds (rather quickly) in order to get you up, dressed, out the door, and headed to Starbucks so you can make it to work on time. [...]
The Cat Empire is pretty big in Australia and is now trying to win over the rest of the world with their new album Two Shoes . Recorded in Havana, Cuba, this disc is modern day version of Booker T. and the MGs . If Booker was into reggae and had added a vocalist, that is. Two Shoes is a feel good album as a whole, but the lyrics dig deeper that sun, sea and sex. Spot the Homer reference in The Night That Never Ends : [...]
The Cat Empire are one of those bands that makes you want to explore every music genre imaginable. Aptly put, they take from almost every style of contemporary music and put it all together for an innovative and creatively fun sound. Being the second Australian band in two days that I'm posting, the group certainly has their share of members. There's nine of them playing anything from bass and percussion to trumpets and empire horns, each contributing equally to the energetic result. At times, including dancers and guest musicians, there can be thirty performers on stage at once for [...]
The Cat Empire is a big name in Australia and they are on their way up in the USA. Next year will see the first stateside release of an album. A teaser EP is currently been distributed and it's ... GREAT. The six-tet recorded it in Havana, Cuba, about one year ago. Pop it in your player and the sun will be shining in your room. The Cat Empire sounds like an updated version of Madness and there is a touch of The Clash during their Sandinista! days. [...]
It is funny that Ant has made mention of mix CDs, as I have neglected this site recently because I got caught up in making my own mix CDs for various internet folk. Nevertheless, I have been informed indirectly that I am a bum and should post more. And what luck! I have just the band for you . So, The Cat Empire , a band from Australia that mixes all kinds of styles, such as gypsy, jazz, ska, etc., and manages to make it sound cohesive. This particular recording was done [...]
Wiki has an overly-thorough entry on the subject of cover songs, here . A few of these are really interesting. An Australian-reggaeish Hotel California , a heavy version of Buddy Holly , and an electronic-new wave Sweet Child Of Mine . Good stuff. Listen: The Cat Empire - Hotel California (The Eagles) KT Tunstall - My Doorbell (White Stripes) [...]
playful aussie rockhiphopreggaedirtycubanjazz Now if you're from Australia, you're fully aware of this power squad of rockers. But if you're not, don't start thinking The Cat Empire is in the same aussie vein as Silverchair and Savage Garden. No no, TCE packs a hell of a punch - killer guitar riffs coupled with a nasty brass section. All the while, they feel like some neighborhood kids having a hell of a time, but you can't not love the entirely fun grooves they produce. 'Sly' jumps loudly off their newest album, Two [...]
Reviews:: The Cat Empire Two Shoes
I might as well talk about Paul Hogan, Steve Irwin (RIP), shrimp and/or barbies, because I am writing about an Australian band for the second times in two days. The Cat Empire is a unique entity, since they have six members and there is nary a guitar to be found. They mix Latin jazz, r & b, hip-hop, and horns like a trendy after work lounge, but do it with out any pretension. The result is a fantastic summer album with boatloads of energy. To be honest, it's the type of CD you'd expect to [...]

The Cat Empire on The Late Show
The Cat Empire are an award-winning six piece outfit hailing from Melbourne, Australia. Their sound is a little jazz, a dash of rock with a cheeky dollop of Latin funk. Renowned for their energetic live shows, the lads supported legend James Brown on his 2004 Australian tour. While The Cat Empire has enjoyed a high level of success in their homeland, the band is now concentrating on cracking the US market. Check out Australia's favourite party band busting a move on David Letterman with their track 'Sly'. Get your dance pants on! [...]
