Two Shoes by The Cat Empire
Two Shoes is an album by The Cat Empire, released in 2005. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 12 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Car Song”, on 6 lists with a best position of #25.
Two Shoes, the Cat Empire's second album, came out on 19 April 2005, and the Melbourne band went all the way to Havana to make it, recording there in November and December 2004. You can feel the trip in every bar: jazz, funk and ska shot through with Latin heat, horns blaring, a party that never stops to catch its breath.
Felix Riebl and trumpeter Harry James Angus share the lead vocals, Ollie McGill works the keys, Ryan Monro holds down the bass, Will Hull-Brown drives the drums and Jamshid Khadiwala scratches away on the turntables. "The Car Song", "Sly" and "Party Started" show off the band's bounce, and the follow-up to their successful debut went straight in at the top of the ARIA chart, their first number-one album.
