Demo/The Cat Empire

Demo/The Cat Empire is an independent 5-track instrumental demo released by The Cat Empire in 2000. It was never released for retail sale but was sold at performances in clubs and bars when The Cat Empire were just beginning their career. The demo consists of only three original Cat Empire musicians, Felix Riebl, Ollie McGill and Ryan Monro.

A copy was recently sold on online auction website eBay for approximately 350 AUD. It was rumoured that a roadie or close friend of the band was selling early demos on the 2009 UK tour.

Famous quotes containing the words cat and/or empire:

    A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    When a Man is in a serious Mood, and ponders upon his own Make, with a Retrospect to the Actions of his Life, and the many fatal Miscarriages in it, which he owes to ungoverned Passions, he is then apt to say to himself, That Experience has guarded him against such Errors for the future: But Nature often recurs in Spite of his best Resolutions, and it is to the very End of our Days a Struggle between our Reason and our Temper, which shall have the Empire over us.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)
