Back in 2011, long before streaming live shows was a THING, we streamed the Album Launch event for CINEMA to our audience all around the world.  The technology was not what it is now, but thousands of people managed to tune in to watch us (likely mostly in slow motion!)  We had a small live audience too.  Here's a small share from the Biggest Smallest album launch.

Tickets to our final shows as the original line-up are now available in VIC, QLD and WA, with NSW and SA to follow soon, and Blues Fest now announced as our very last show together. So call up your crew and buy a bundle of tickets this week. Link to tiks https://thecatempire.com/tour/.

Lyrics:

Meet me
Underneath the neon light
We'll go
Wandering into the night
There's something
Underneath the beat of control
Something
A music that is beyond all

You go to sleep you wake up you do it again And there's a beat you make up inside of your head And every street's a river be born or be dead We are all singing this song but Nobody knows how it's going to end

Kiss me
In the coolness of the night
Take me
Further from the firelight
This jungle
No-one really knows where to go
Searching
For something that is beyond all
Music
A music that is beyond all

Break me
Up until I'm pieces of sand
Blow me up
And scatter me across the land
Our bodies
They're hairy and they're fat and they're old
I'm searching
For something that is beyond all
Music
A music that is beyond all

About:
​​Formed in Melbourne, Australia and adored the world over, The Cat Empire is a musical success story that continues to be written. Throughout their 20 year career, the band's stratospheric trajectory has continued unabated, becoming one of Australia's most successful musical exports, growing an army of ardent fans at home and abroad.

Since their teens, the six bound together by a love of music, and bolstered by the career-long guidance of Manager Correne Wilkie, have gone about the business of crafting infectious, genre-embracing anthems and releasing chart-topping, multi-platinum albums to take to the live stage. It was not unusual to find the band performing on main stage bills at iconic international festivals, selling out the world's most famous arenas, mobbed by supporters and media at airports in Spain, and appearing on top rating T.V. shows like Letterman and Leno.

In September 2021, The Cat Empire announced that after 20 years, the band's original line-up would play their final shows together in a series of massive headline shows around Australia, a final festival performance at Bluesfest and a virtual concert.

The next chapter of The Cat Empire begins with founding members Felix and Ollie stepping forward with "a re-imagined, vibrant, cross-cultural, and joyful collective of musicians and artists".
