The Cat Empire

Fans of The Cat Empire should start dreaming up their ideal gig as the band officially declare October 17 the Super-Fan Night – with hardcore fans from across Australia invited to come out for a midweek shakedown and be involved in everything from writing the set list to performing with the band.

Fans will choose the set list in advance of the show, through a new site called PICK R SET. By visiting http://www.pickrset.com/bands/thecatempire fans can choose songs from all of The Cat Empire’s albums - including the new album So Many Nights.

The Cat Empire will also run a comp on their website for one lucky fan to perform with the band on the night. The comp will involve posting an ‘audition’ video to You Tube. The fan will nominate which TCE song, and what instrument they want to play. If the winner is from interstate, they will be flown in and accommodated for the night of performance. Post your audition video here: http://www.youtube.com/group/thecatempireaudition

The chaos continues with the first beer being shouted by the band, and a box at the door where fans can post a question for the band which will then be randomly selected and answered on stage throughout the show. For a change of pace, fans are actually encouraged to bring their cameras and take photos!

This show is part of a run called SO MANY NIGHTS, The Cat Empire’s attempt at setting a new venue record at Sydney’s Metro, of 8 shows in a row. With the fifth show soon to go on-sale, The Cat Empire are feeling quietly confident.
