A Cat Power Australian Tour 2014 has been announced, with the enigmatic Chan Marshall returning Down Under this January and February to perform in solo mode.
In the country earlier this year as part of the Golden Plains Lucky Seven lineup, and a series of critically acclaimed sideshows, Cat Power returns for a series of intimate new shows presented by Remote Control and Feel Presents.
Cat Power will perform two shows in the Circus Ronaldo Tent for Sydney Festival and will also appear as a guest vocalist at Sydney Festival’s Big Star’s Third, a live orchestrated performance of the classic album.
Cat Power will also perform shows in Melbourne, Fremantle, Canberra (her first show in the nation’s capital in over 10 years), a debut performance at the Meeniyan Town Hall in Victoria’s Gippsland, and two very special shows in beautiful downtown Milton on the NSW south coast.
Mick Turner – Dirty Three guitarist, sometime collaborator with Cat Power and Chan Marshall’s very good friend – will join the tour for many of the shows performing solo or in band mode presenting material from his brand new album Don’t Tell The Driver, his first to feature vocals.
Cat Power’s ninth record, Sun, was released August 2012 and included singles ‘Ruin’ & ‘Cherokee’; described by our Tone Deaf reviewer as a “comeback album full of bright and muscular electronics that signals the arrival of a more generous and grown-up Cat Power.”
Her full band tour earlier this year saw sold out shows at Perth International Arts Festival and Melbourne’s Forum, in addition to a a headline spot Meredith’s Golden Plains Festival and a double bill with George Clinton for MONA in Hobart.

This time though, Cat Power is going it alone, intimate and up close.
