Who's heard of 'The Cat Empire'

[Naybo]

Stumbled across one of their songs a few months back when a mate of mine stuck it on over my car stereo, "Hello Hello" the title or something.
Loving it.
Recommend any tracks?

Perhaps this is not the best way to track down songs.

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

Yes. And I am their ruler

The Cat Empire is a good scar band. I was introduced to'em by a friend, and I liked the music. If you want more songs, may I suggest going to their wiki page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat_Empire] and finding some singles to buy/download?

 

[PurpleRain]

Wow, they've been around Australia for ages.

 

[Xhumed]

Been forced to listen to them in a car by the driver, can't say I care for them. Not my blend of Darjeeling.

 

[Copter400]

I guess I recognize them as not being crap, but I don't like them on the basis that they are, like all non-metal bands, boring.

But yeah, Hello, Hello is catchy.

 

[N-Sef]

Ahh the Cat Empire. I enjoy their stuff when I hear it on the radio, but I've never been persuaded to buy any of their stuff or even download any. Similar to the Foo Fighters, love hearing their stuff on the radio, but not enough to get any of their stuff.

I have only heard of them when I clicked on this thread out of curiosity. To be honest, I half-thought it was the empire ruled by CATS from Zero Wing (better known as All Your Base).

 

[Imperial Avenger]

Yeah, I know them - I heard their stuff when they added me as a friend on myspace, & now I own all their CDs. Absolutely love 'em! My own personal recommendations:

From CD 1, "The Cat Empire":

1 - How To Explain

13 - All That Talking

From CD 2, "Cat Empire: Two Shoes":

seen them live more times than i can count they're fantastic.

 

[zen5887]

Cat Empire are great!

 

[jezz8me]

I love the Cat Empire. The latin jazz spin on ska is fantastic. I also get to support a local melbourne band

Listen to the first album "the cat empire" it is by far the best.

You may be interested in Blue King Brown they are kind of similar. They supported The Cat empire this year on their Aussie tour. They have a bit more of a reggae island feel and a female singer.

wasn't that the other world in the movie 'the cat returns' from studio ghibli, a girl saves a cat who's apperently the cat prince and as reward they take het to the cat world and change her in a cat to marry the cat prince. funny movie

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

I have two of their albums. Playing Crazy Taxi theres nothing else you would rather hear.

 

[Pimppeter2]

And here I was hoping that I was finally elected King of the Kittens. Maybe next year

 

[fix-the-spade]

Recommend any tracks?

Yeah I heard of them.

They're on the soundtrack of Seasons (a mountain bike movie), the song is called 'Two shoes' and it's pretty good. You could always just check out http://www.thecatempire.com/ for their songs. It only seems logical.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

For a minute, I was assuming you meant the Ctarl Ctarl Empire. I've never heard of this band before.
