In 2011 THE CAT EMPIRE celebrate the 10th anniversary of their first show together.
To mark this milestone, the band are undertaking a world tour, and Europe is the next stop.
This string of almost 30 live dates kick off in the UK on Oct 18, finishing up in Germany on Nov 17 after visiting France, Switzerland, Austria and The Netherlands.
For fans in London, this means the chance to go back to where they first discovered The Cat Empire – undoubtedly on the dance floor at The Shepherds Bush Empire, or step it up a notch and see them lift the roof off Brixton Academy - The Cat Empire are coming to both venues!
The Cat Empire’s 10 year anniversary is rare success story, which shows that a combination of hard work, great songs, a good vibe, a genuine vision, and a little bit of luck go a long way.
In an industry where few bands survive beyond the first album, if even making it that far, 10 years is a big achievement. Considering they are still all under the age of 30, and have consolidated themselves as a world class touring act, it's outstanding.
The first Australian tours were undertaken in a convoy of cars handed down from parents, or borrowed from friends, sleeping on the floors of friends of friends, and putting up their own posters at each stop.
Word quickly spread about this young band that could deliver a party like no other. Soon they were undertaking national tours, and financing their first album, all under their own steam. By the time they signed their first record deal they were packing out concert halls in each Australian major city.
The band has now sold over a million albums and DVDs in all parts of the world. They have headlined global festivals, won ARIAs, and played on Letterman and Leno, contributed where they can to a range of causes, and maintained a cool under the radar presence while still playing to stadiums worth of fans at each stop.
When asked what their biggest achievement is in 10 years as a band, there is a unanimous "staying together".
