It was ME! Thanks so much for the news! I was a little disappointed with their last effort, but that might be because the previous three were so darn good! Got to see them live last summer out in the Central Park sun on a perfect day. Even though they basically only played one song that I wanted them to, they were still so much fun to watch.
Now the question is, how to get it here in America without paying $18 for the disc and another $18 for shipping!
Ooooh! I love Cat Empire! I caught them for the first time at Wakarusa about 3 years ago. They totally surprised me. Great sound! :)

I'd be happy to buy here and bring to Fest if ya want. Shipping from your joint to mine is a real thorn in my side.

They still havent picked up their left over Merch from the New Years Festival I was working on so if you want to buy a cheap T Shirt of theirs,let me know.
They also have another side band featuring some members called Action Jackson.

when my niece first turned me onto them, I thought she said Cat on Fire, so that's what I still call them. Heard them live in NYC at a Central Park concert in 07 - I think. Didn't sound at all like a cat on fire. Not that I've ever heard one.

I only have their first CD. Ken was walking past a record store, heard it playing and thought, oh that sounds like someting Tan would like. :)

On my list Dave. Lagniappe for sure... and I'm just as sure that Fest4Kidz will be happy if you chip in an appropriate thank you! :D

Hmmm... Any local NYC bands you can't get in Australia that I could pick up a CD of? btw, I was totally going to pay for the CD. Just the effort to bring it from Australia would be the lagniappe. :)

Oi, now that you mention it I saw someone I really liked playing on a stage outside Grand Central Station... I'll ask Tangledupinblue who it was and get back to you.
Katy... who was she again? :D :D

It wasn't randomly an African-American woman named Susan Cagle, was it?

Tangledupinblue tells me it was Steve Kimock. It's the woman I really liked... Donna Jean Godchaux. Ahhh, well I like the whole lot of 'em!

See ya Friday!!!

Oh, and we got UPGRADED for the long haul flight! Didn't ask for it and they haven't taken any points.... bloody marvellous start to the holiday! Only thing I can think of is that I gave the fella at the Qantas Club in Cairns a Glen David Andrews CD... surely a $15 CD doesn't get you a bloody $10,000 upgrade? Dozzen matter, CDs for everyone every time we fly from now on!!!!

No prob
packing at the moment and on a plane at 10.15 am tomorrow,not excited about long flights again,but get into Nola just in time to get over to Kermit in the Park in I think.
See you soon.
