The Cat Empire are an Australian ska and jazz band formed in 1999. Core members are Felix Riebl (percussion and vocals), Harry James Angus (trumpet and vocals), Will Hull-Brown (drums), Jamshid "Jumps" Khadiwhala (decks, percussion), Ollie McGill (keyboard and backing vocals), and Ryan Monro (bass and backing vocals). They are often supplemented by The Empire Horns, a brass duo composed of Ross Irwin (trumpet) and Kieran Conrau (trombone), among others. Their sound is a fusion of jazz, ska, funk and rock with heavy Latin influences.
THE CAT EMPIRE strikes back in 2012. North America is the last leg of the worldwide tour which kicked off in 2011 to celebrate the bands 10th anniversary. What better way than to conduct a world-wide dance-a-thon, taking the show to as many cities as possible that have supported the band since 2001. Fans throughout Canada and on the West and East Coast of the USA will be able to see the band play hits from the bands 5 albums. This jazz, funk, pop, latin infused group is one of the few in the world that can get a whole room dancing, so warm up before you get there and bring your friends!
