Last night's entertainment was The Cat Empire playing at the Prince of Wales Hotel in St Kilda. If you're not familiar with them, try thinking jazz + reggae + funk + latino + flamenco + hip-hop + ska all wrapped up in raw energy, a sense of humour and joie de vivre.
I enjoyed their CD without realising just how much I was missing. It's barely a shadow of the band's music. The Cat Empire is a band that must be experienced live.
