outlive your enemies

This thread is great, thanks guys, for all the great music from down under. I became obsessed with The Cat Empire right before their second album. I got to see them live in SF, CA back in April 2012, right before a huge eurotrip with the wife... great vibe, and fun as poo poo i mean HOLY HELL THESE GUYS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE and the crowd was rockin' out hard. Tons of fans who got to see these guys live finally.

On the eurotrip a week later, we ended up in Amsterdam. While there, we stayed on a guy's couch thanks to Couchsurfing, and he took us to a great beer bar that only served Belgian, German, and Czech beers, apparently Netherlands own beer is not that good...? On the way home, we talk about music, and HE asks me if I had ever heard of these guys from Melbourne who play a genreless variety of music, called The Cat Empire. I lost my poo poo, started acting like an idiot who just met his hero, and we went back to his place, played poker, drank more, talked, laughed, and listened to 3 entire albums before passing out. What a loving night.

Thank you aussies. :)

It sounded really good live when I heard them play it, and I hesitate to admit I actually enjoy it.

It sounds a bit... err... produced, but I think live it's definitely going to be a crowd pleaser. I can hear the crowd singing the bridge and then going gently caress nuts crazy during the instrumentals.

I noticed a similar vibe.
