In 2014, Something for Kate – Paul Dempsey, Clint Hyndman and Stephanie Ashworth – celebrate their 20th year with the biggest and most ambitious shows of the bands career to date; their entire back catalogue reissued on vinyl, deluxe CD and iTunes; the screening of a short film tracing their 20 year evolution; and the release of a book ‘Paper Trail’, a visual history of the bands’ career.
Together these four elements – a July/August national tour, a July 4 catalogue re-issue, film and book release showcase the songs, visuals and aesthetic which have made Something for Kate one of the best and most consistently successful acts Australia has produced.

On July 4, every Something For Kate album will become available on vinyl in a limited edition run for the first time ever. With every LP out of print since having sold out immediately upon their initial release (and Desert Lights never having been issued on vinyl), this is the first time that SFK fans have been given the opportunity to complete their collections in the audiophile’s first choice of format.
The ‘20 Year Anniversary Tour’ tour in July/August that accompanies these reissues is Something For Kate’s most ambitious series of performances to date, and the biggest events the band have staged. For the first time in their history, the band will play two sets each night, covering all facets of their decorated career: hits, B-sides, rarities and all points in between. Setting the tone for the evening at the beginning of every show will be a short film by Callum Preston tracing the band’s history from 1994 to the current day, whilst a companion piece, the book ‘Paper Trail’ will be on sale at all shows and through the band’s online store. At the conclusion of each show, the band will repair to the merch desk to meet fans, and sign the accumulated memories of twenty years. It’s a chance for the band to say thanks and to continue the journey in the same way it started twenty years ago – through genuine connection between the people who write the songs and the people who listen to them.
