Cat Empire

Anyone a fan/coming to the tour? I think I'm going to see them in Leeds, though I've never really listened to them. From what I can see they're quite cool, electric piano based latin ska? It's cool.

They sound pretty cool, never heard of them before but I like it. I don't think I'd go see them live even if they were doing a gig near me though.

(All this based on the 1 minute 07 seconds of music I have ever heard by them)

i'm sure i just rpelied to this.... lame computer!

i DEFINITELY fancy the Leeds gig!.. depends if i can find anyone to go with though

I've listened to more of their songs on myspace now, I still think they sound very good.

Im gonna be doing the Leeds gig too. looking forward to it loads-managed to miss them the last few times theyve toured.

I saw them in melbourne n it was awesome! might see if anyone wants to go bristol.

I'm not a massive fan. I really like that one that goes 'our weapons were our instruments...' or something. Everything else just irritates me.

Yep, I'm going with the OP They are truly one of a kind

saw them like 4 years ago on their first uk tour, vowed to see them on every tour after coz they were bad ass... failed miserably, will try and see them this time

Great great great live band.
Perfect summer gig too. I'll be there in Leeds most definitely.
Not too shabby at £15 a ticket.

I saw them at a festival in Queensland when I was in Oz, and they were pretty rubbish.

I was very disapointed!

I'll probably be seeing them in Birmingham, though I've only got the first album they did it's fuckin ace

i've got a couple of their tracks, had em a while. days like these is a sick tune!

shame none of the gigs are that near to me, might have to trek to brum if i can though =]

Ah Damn, my driving test has been booked for the day after the Leeds gig, so now I can't go Also my friend who was going has broken his wrist so he can't go either!

I was well looking forward to these as well. Hopefully some other great band will come over and do a gig instead..

Whhaaat! Glasgow gig is the day before my Random Hand/Skints 2 day extravaganza. This is shaping up to be a good Scottish ska summer

ok ive never heard of em yet the leeds date is sold out grrr

Where have you heard that from??

Tickets are still onsale at SeeTickets.com and if you head to Leeds-Academy.co.uk there's a link on there to buy tickets.

Alternatively if you live in Leeds, get along to the Box Office (it's open every day except Sundays i think) and pick up tickets without any booking fees.

when i looked on aloud.,com it said sold out. it matters not anyway, me n lee are rocking the adelphi in hull that night, and if we werent id be at the parish in hudersfield for some rh, skints, kickback action

well i was about to buy a tiket but looks like il have to venture to the adelphi instead, when you meet lees mate in hull make shur to ask him how he got banned from the adelphi, its and impresive story

yeah come and see us at lees first gig should be interesting we may rape him or set him on fire or something equally hilarious
