The Cat Empire

Last night, thanks to you, Harry stood up to accept 2 Australian National Live Music Awards - NLMAs. One for Best Live Band-People’s Choice, and a personal one for him Best Live Voice-People’s Choice. For a band that often gets overlooked by its own industry, there is no greater award than an award voted by the public. For as long as the people continue to choose us, we have big broad smiles on our faces. Infinite thanks for your support, and for the gift of these awards. ❤️

Next up in the 360 video clip series is Barricades. So if you’ve been holding out for some more Harry action, here it is… choose your own viewing adventure, and see who drops their guard forgetting they were being filmed… You can watch the full 360 video for Barricades here: https://bit.ly/2zTuN9J

Filmed at Red Moon Studios, Gisborne, while we were recording their new album, The Recording of Stolen Diamonds Behind the Scenes series provides a unique insight into what goes on in studio when we come together to make new music. With thanks to Jan Skubiszewski & Billy the dog for letting the cameras in. Let’s kick things off in the right place, with our Drummer – Will Hull-Brown.

Take a closer look behind the scenes with Will as he delves into his role as the drummer during recording.

A loving dedication to my friend and family member Yara Sturak Mignon, who passed away in tragic circumstances while I was on tour. Thanks to everyone in the band and crew who pulled together to perform ‘The boy with the thorn in his side’ by one of his favourite bands The Smiths in Cologne 🇩🇪, and to Hoss and Ben who joined us especially for the occasion ... thanks also to @rosalieapituley and Lach for editing and mixing the video, and to everyone in the room for lighting it up. This is our way of sending love to Yara, and to those closest to him who are hurting terribly - Felix

Great night tonight in Mount Panorama! Thanks to all the local crew who looked after us!!

Back in Oz! Harry is here to give some inspiration before tonight’s gig at Inland Sea of Sound Festival!

Happy to be sharing with you our final new song for 2018! You can listen to Barricades here: https://the-cat-empire.lnk.to/barricadesFA Pre-orders now open for Stolen Diamonds: https://thecatempire.com/music/stolen-diamonds/

Happy to be sharing with you our final new song for 2018, with more to come in the new year, plus the album Stolen Diamonds, out Feb 15 and available for pre-order now https://thecatempire.com/music/stolen-diamonds/ December's musical instalment is called Barricades, written by Harry Angus. Barricades starts off driven by an ominous piano riff hammered out by our own keyboard master Ollie McGill, and then in comes the ethereal vocal of Harry. It all cuts loose from then... It is by far one of the most intricate and experimental songs on the album. You can listen to Barricades here: https://the-cat-empire.lnk.to/barricadesFA

The last song of the year, out tomorrow!

A call out to The Cat Empire Collectors, you can now pre-order Stolen Diamonds, due for release Feb 15. All CD and vinyl pre-orders will be signed by the whole band. The packaging is supreme, and you can even place a Christmas pre-order for a friend for them to receive notification of your generosity on Christmas morning. For those of you who have completely crossed over to streaming, pre-save Stolen Diamonds now so you receive it on release day. Whatever your chosen listening format, there’s a way to access this new album… click here for more info: https://thecatempire.com/music/stolen-diamonds/

Thank you for the overwhelming response to our post regarding an opening act for outdoor shows we are planning for the future. However… we want you to think BIGGER! When we say no idea is too crazy, we mean it. Don’t just put your friends forward, think international… Ben Harper?… Mumford and Sons?… who else? Comment some epic bands/artists that you’d love to see perform with us on a grand outdoor scale. Photograph: Dane Beesley

The Bataclan in full voice. Steal the Light after we played the song named after the venue. What a special show. Merci Paris.

Beautiful night in Brussels at the AB. Thank you everyone for changing nights. I’m sorry for the hassle but so glad we still had the chance to perform here. I won’t forget it. With love, Felix

Bristol Show no 2 ... what a city, what a crowd. Thanks and see you again
