Harry James Angus brings some Old Fashioned Mayhem to Old Bar!

Harry James Angus, the firebrand trumpet-playing vocalist from the hugely successful band The Cat Empire, is known both for his thrilling live performances and for his constant musical re-invention. His full-time gig with The Cat Empire has had much success. 6 Australian top ten albums and huge chart success all over the world, appearances at every major festival including Glastonbury, Montreal Jazz and TV appearances on Letterman and Jay Leno.

Harry’s solo work is a different beast though.

His new work takes the raw intensity, chaos and exploratory power that has helped make The Cat Empire such an incandescent live experience, but redirects it towards a darker, more weirdly beautiful universe. A universe inspired by artists like Nina Simone, Van Morrison, Antony & The Johnsons and John Coltrane.

The third song from Harry’s new body of work “Old Fashioned Mayhem”, completely lives up to its name, its unrelenting raw chaos is like a ride on Melbourne’s iconic Mad Mouse and marks a distinct change in genres from Harry who seems able to flip between styles so completely effortlessly.

Tickets available from Dramatix $30 + booking fee.
