THANK YOU from the Original Line-up of The Cat Empire – Labels and Distributors

Monday, April 11, 2022

We have been a fully independent band since 2012, but prior to that we had some pretty incredible people work with us at labels. Big thanks to everyone at Inertia, Cadence, Wrasse, Velour, Universal Europe, Indica Montreal, Virgin EMI Australia. Can’t help but single out John O’D, Craig Hawker, Glenn Dickie, Penny Rowland, Andy Bryan, Lisa Grieve, Darryl Bailey, Dixie Battersby, Val McGyver, Andy Purcell, Nicole Richards, Jules Hooper(!), Maree Nardone from our Virgin EMI days; it ALL started with you and your belief in our wild beliefs!

THANK YOU from the Original Line-up of The Cat Empire – Our Touring Crew

Sunday, April 10, 2022

Too many to thank for fear of leaving someone out. But these guys and gals have made the world go ‘round for us out on the road. Our absolute A-team Touring Crew. They work all day and all night and rarely see a bed while we are delivering shows. They are tireless, consummate professionals, and can take full credit for getting us on stage and making us sound and look better than we ever were! It would be wrong not to mention by name Mark Hosking (Hoss) who has been our Tour Manager for over 15 years, and Andie Reid our Stage Manager for 12 years;

THANK YOU from the Original Line-up of The Cat Empire – International Agents

Saturday, April 9, 2022

For an Australian band to have a successful International career it requires a team of people willing to take some big leaps of faith, to take the daily steps and do the hard work that paves the way to a sustainable global career. Welcome to the stage our International Agents…North America; Jordan Burger found us first and surrounded us with more people who could and did make a difference including the great Steve Martin. Then Rob Zifarelli ran with us for many years and even more tours and has been a total legend the entire way. Thanks also to Kelly who brings it all together.

THANK YOU from the Original Line-up of The Cat Empire – The Empire Horns

Friday, April 8, 2022

Roscoe James Irwin and Kieran Conrau. You have been there always, and for that we are so grateful. Because let’s face it, everything would have been dull without you; the music and the tour buses, the dinners, the workouts, the home videos, the after parties, the long haul flights, the airport lounge conversations…and everything in between. Thank you for everything you have contributed on and off the stage over the past 2 decades. Everything. Special mention to Carlo Barbaro who was the mighty third tier of the horn section in the early years.

One week to go South Australia!
