The good news for today is the release of Still Young, recorded live at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in December last year as we delivered our final hometown concerts together as the original six-piece of The Cat Empire.

Still Young has become somewhat of an anthem for those of us who are either still young or still feeling young, or still wanting to be young, or just remembering how it felt to be young. It also honours the fact that at any age we are always still young at heart, and it’s never too late to find that cheeky, fun, spirited side of us that can yell and scream and sing and dance at a concert.

It still astounded us how some songs very quickly sync with an audience behaviour which gets delivered back at us all around the world. In the case of Still Young it’s a double-fist-punch in the air in time to the words “Still Young” that has become the universal marker of this song.

So, play it loud, get your fist-punch warmed up, and enjoy.

We will be back to you soon with some final news and music before we wrap things up in April and deliver our final show together at Bluesfest Byron Bay mid-April.

About:

Formed in Melbourne, Australia and adored the world over, The Cat Empire is a musical success story that continues to be written. Throughout their 20 year career, the band's stratospheric trajectory has continued unabated, becoming one of Australia's most successful musical exports, growing an army of ardent fans at home and abroad.

Since their teens, the six bound together by a love of music, and bolstered by the career-long guidance of Manager Correne Wilkie, have gone about the business of crafting infectious, genre-embracing anthems and releasing chart-topping, multi-platinum albums to take to the live stage. It was not unusual to find the band performing on main stage bills at iconic international festivals, selling out the world's most famous arenas, mobbed by supporters and media at airports in Spain, and appearing on top rating T.V. shows like Letterman and Leno.

In September 2021, The Cat Empire announced that after 20 years, the band's original line-up would play their final shows together in a series of massive headline shows around Australia, a final festival performance at Bluesfest and a virtual concert.

The next chapter of The Cat Empire begins with founding members Felix and Ollie stepping forward with "a re-imagined, vibrant, cross-cultural, and joyful collective of musicians and artists".
