Why should punters visit you? These album anniversary shows are fantastic, as a celebration of a milestone and a chance for punters to reflect. Cat Power songs will be played off this album plus others over two stages!
What's the history of the event? There's been a few of these anniversary shows — a PJ Harvey one in November, one for The Smiths in April — and they're a massive hit. A positive vibe and celebration.
Any advice for first timers who want to visit the event? It's like a great big game of ping pong. Two stages at the Corner Hotel, prepare to soak lots in!
Who's performing this time around? Over 20 acts including: Lisa Crawley, Hannah Cameron, Emma Russack, Laura Macfarlane, Anna Cordell, Jess Locke, Freya Josephine Hollick, Hana Maru, J M S Harrison, Dogood, Ayleen O'Hanlon and Rich Davies.
Do you have any plans for the event in the future? Yes, there's a 30-year anniversary show for The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths happening in Sydney. The Melbourne show sold out the Corner so it's spreading around the country. It features Steve Kilbey (The Church).
When and where for your next event? Cat Power Tribute is Friday 12 Aug at Corner Hotel. The Smiths Tribute is Saturday 24 Sep at Factory Theatre.
