After “The Begining” - Part 1
There was nothing.
Months of waiting. Numerous emails sent begging The Cat Empire to come to Perth. “Please!”
I did, however, have “The Sun” - a private release of the bands that could only be bought from their gigs. We had bought it in Sydney. It had early versions of some of their most successful commercial releases, including “hello” with a third verse that never made it to the final cut… This album is priceless. With it I converted hundreds - well, maybe only dozens - of people to the bands following, all of them eager to hear them live.
Oh the day, that glorius day, when Cat-ire (my sisters nickname for the band) announced their national tour, including a trip to Perth. November 15! They were playing in Perth on November 15! Why is this significant? Because my birthday is November 14! What an AWESOME birthday present!
I was very excited. I told everybody I knew, and talked non-stop about the band. In a moment of passion, my Mum suggested to me that I invite the band over to dinner while they are in Perth.
What a great idea! My favourite band, at my place!
Email is a wonderful thing.
