My ticket got revoked when they changed to an over 18 venue for the Brisbane concert. I almost cried

Holy crap, that sucks dude! I guess you'll just have to catch them the next time...Fortunately (and awesomely) they tour nearly permanantly so you won't have to wait like 2 or 3 years for their next show unlike some other bands.

I finally listened do this band today after hearing Sal sing their praises for months and I've instantly been swept off my fee by their music. They take so many different sorts of sounds and styles I'm already so familiar with and mix them all together to tremendous effect. I love big bands with big sounds and I love ska (jazz and reggae mixed of course) and not since Reel Big Fish have I heard it done so right.

I've been enjoying their debut for the last hour. ^.^

There's nothing like the force feeding nature of MT to get bands across But that's awesome to hear Harmony, and you'll be happy to know that they only get better from there!

I've never met someone who doesn't like the Cat Empire

I trust me, I could find people without much effort....though all of those people don't know anything about music so.....

[Fisha]

Indeed, I can't thank you enough for that introduction

And I also have to admit, I've never heard of anyone really badmouthing The Cat Empire...all the people I know either like them or haven't yet heard of them, at least, not outside of the singles!

Also I'm enjoying their debut right now, and I'm noticing it's got a lot more of Felix's vocals than it does of Harry's. Which is a good thing for me, as I ever so slightly prefer Felix's smooth pipes

[Cosmic Harmony]

Well you two have to keep in my that American youths generally have terrible taste in music. I have a feeling that if you played Cat Empire at my old high school the kids would whine about how they can't dance to it because it's not electronic enough.

[Salmacis]

But they've got their own DJ! Surely that alone must appeal to the young kids!

[Fisha]

Indie has taken over in Australian schools, sure their is still the RnB and hip hop going around but I'm feeling revoltion. Between indie and aussie hip hop (which is very bareable compared to it's American counterpart) I'm slowly gaining faith in the youth of Australia

[Salmacis]

I'm actually enjoying trace amounts of Aussie R&B...heard a Bliss N' Eso song I liked the other day, and I'm discovering some cool indie rappers on rage too

[Cosmic Harmony]

Well it doesn't help that my town is the epitome of teens loving what sucks the most in American music. Seriously, DJ's hate coming to our school system for dances and stuff because of the crap that people request.

I was singing this song in the shower this morning, complete with nasally high notes and all.
