In 2007\, the Un iversity of Lethbridge supported his “These Proportions Are Epic” tour\, w here MBF escorted a band of 50 musicians playing University theatres throu ghout Alberta. That same year\, Michael performed at Calgary’s Grand Theat re with a backing band of 26 musicians\, returning to that venue twice mor e with 54 performers on stage. The Alberta Foundation for the Arts granted Michael funding for a full-length recording (which he made in Nashville) and in 2008\, Michael won the X92 Radio station’s “Xposure” contest - land ing him that coveted spot at Virginfest. Michael was crowned “most promisi ng songwriter” by the Calgary Folk Festival where he performed that year. Rawlco Radio awarded Michael a grant for the recording of his first full-l ength release.\nThat release\, The MBF Love LP (LOADMusic/EMI) was unveile d in June of 2009. A soaring\, emotional\, studio album produced by Juno-A ward winner\, Russell Broom (Jann Arden) was conveyed in larger than life form by the “Love and Manners” show – a sight and sound spectacular coordi nated by Michael and involving 120 local musicians\, dancers and visual ar tists on stage. Michael next envisioned “The Loud Love Choir Tour” a 90-pe rson choir\, four-piece horn section\, percussionists\, guitars and keyboa rds which took The MBF Love LP to new heights. Two sold-out shows at Knox United Church in Calgary translated into almost 2\,000 in total attendance . The show was scaled back to a choir of 30\, with most of the other eleme nts remaining in place and was taken to Lethbridge\, Kelowna\, Vancouver a nd Edmonton in 2010.\nAfter assembling delightful\, indie-inspired\, frien d-filled videos for album tracks\, Care For You and Brand New Spaces\, MBF recently revealed the superbly executed video for album single Movie Life - complete with choreographed dancers and 3-D post production effects\, a ll happening while Michael and friends hurtle through the night on a prett y kick-ass party bus. Michael rounded out 2011 with select tours and numer ous summer festival plays. He is in the midst of recording of his next alb um “YES”\, with an expected for release in early 2012.

Doors open at 8:00 pm.\nThe youngest Aussie band to turn 10 years old\, in 2011 THE CAT EMPIRE celebrated the 10th anniver sary of their first show together. In an industry where few bands survive beyond the first album\, if even making it that far\, 10 years is a big a chievement. Considering they are still all under the age of 30\, and have consolidated themselves as a world-class touring act\, it's outstanding.\n To celebrate this milestone\, the band are undertaking a world tour\, and North America is the final stop. "We feel incredibly grateful to the fans who supported in the early days\, and have continued to support as our ca reer gained momentum. It’s important to get to all of them this year to c elebrate. Canada and the USA – you’re next."\nThe Cat Empire’s 10 year an niversary is rare success story\, which shows that a combination of hard w ork\, great songs\, a good vibe\, a genuine vision\, and a little bit of l uck go a long way.\nThe first Australian tours were undertaken in a convoy of cars handed down from parents\, or borrowed from friends\, sleeping on the floors of friends of friends\, and putting up their own posters at ea ch stop. Word quickly spread about this young band that could deliver a p arty like no other. Soon they were undertaking national tours around Aust ralia\, and financing their first album\, all under their own steam. By th e time they signed their first record deal they were packing out concert h alls in each Australian major city\, and had a solid fan base all over the country.\nIt wasn’t long until the rest of the world heard about The Empi re\, and an international army of supporters formed. The band members cre dit their Australian fans and international backpackers in Australia for m arketing them overseas. "Everywhere we went overseas\, people would come up to us and say a friend in Australia sent the album to them\, or ‘one of our mates who travelled through Australia brought it back and we all burn ed it!’" In fact\, The Cat Empire suspect illegal piracy of their album i n countries where it was not available overseas ended up being their great est marketing machine. "We would arrive in cities like Montreal and Berli n for the first time\, and everyone in the audience would already know the words to every song. I guess the money we lost in cd sales through those territories\, we have made by getting so many fans on board\, so although we don’t endorse it\, we certainly cant begrudge the file sharing."\nThe b and has now sold over a million albums and DVDs in all parts of the world. They have headlined global festivals\, won ARIAs\, and played on Letterm an and Leno\, contributed where they can to a range of causes\, and mainta ined a cool under the radar presence while still playing to stadiums worth of fans at each stop.Performing: The Cat Empire DTEND:20120408T050000Z DTSTAMP:20120211T101859 DTSTART:20120408T020000Z LOCATION:The Starlite Room\, 10030 102 Street NW\, Edmonton\, Alberta\, T5J 0V6 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Tooth Blackener presents featuring The Cat Empire UID:ce2345a4-b8d0-4c3b-bd14-0b6b8dd337f7 URL:http://www.shareedmonton.ca/events/2012/04/07/tooth-blackener-presents- featuring-the-cat-empire END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED:20120211T101859 DESCRIPTION:Edmonton’s favorite improvised comedy – Rapid Fire Theatre’s ve ry best story-tellers will weave you a tale of surprise and hilarity\, rig ht on the spot!
