Hello - The Cat Empire Live for Max Sessions

Filmed at Sydney Opera House for The Max Sessions sometime in 2004. It's rough and ready, raw and improvised quite a bit. But that's how the whole show turned out.
So Felix with or without a ponytail?
I like both.

[@emvaughan14]

[@psycherevival2105]

He is so unbelievably good.

[@misslulua]

Agreed ! Ollie is an incredible musician

[@UrbanomicInteriors]

Went to see these live last night. They just played new stuff :( I was so gutted. They were still very good but this is what I love about them and I got none of it.

[@JacquiHolmes]

+Nj Apostol Considering this song is now decades old and a fan favourite but something the band gets absolutely sick of playing, people are incredibly lucky to hear it live. They've played it only a handful of times in the last 5 or more years. And we're talking about a band that has been around for over a decade itself. This is off their debut album and their latest show is a showcase of their new album. Expecting anything else from them is unrealistic.

[@beeefy54]

this is such a great version - thanks for uploading! i fucking wish i could've been there for this performance.

[@Lucygillham]

This is my summer song this year lol

[@hilarybee1797]

PS love the drum solo and everything

[@TheOliist]

My favourite band is also Avenged, Cat Empire are a close second :)

[@karrie20x]

I only buy one song at a time - but if you put this song as a single I can buy - this Jazzy version? Not only buying but telling all my friends!

[@valentingienal]
