Alhambra Lounge - Thu May 17 The evening begins with a smattering of punters, mostly opting to loiter around the bar or smoke outside, interrupted by the young noise of Gold Coast group Woe & Flutter. They are tuneful and easily digestible, but their genre flipping from slacker rock to pop punk to Dandy Warhol stoner glam suggests that all the best music has already been written, leaving Woe & Flutter to play around the fringes. In contrast, Palms stick to a groove early on and they do ...

Australian female pop music has been overshadowed in recent years by the New Zealand juggernauts of Kimbra  and Ladyhawke . Australia however, has a (not so) secret weapon to rival the aforementioned sensations. After initially starting out in punk band Kiosk, Catherine Kelleher, who goes by the moniker Catcall, has released her debut album The Warmest Place . Four years have passed since Catcall’s self-released EP Anniversary – a hip-hop infused first offering which lead to her being signed to Ivy League ...

Catcall (pictured) is returning to Brisbane – with full band in tow – to play Alhambra Lounge on Thursday May 17. You should be well aware of her single Satellites, but her recently released debut album The Warmest Place was awarded four stars by our esteemed Alasdair Duncan only last week! Tickets are on sale now, $15.30+bf from OzTix.

LANCELOT has taken on fellow Sydneysider CATCALL‘s latest single ‘The World is Ours’; putting his own smooth, moody spin on it. It’s a less energised, definitely less poppy departure from the original. Despite this, there is definitely a time and a place to listen to this: think strolls through the windy city at sundown; think high-backed leather [...]

Catcall’s ‘The Warmest Place’ is a timely reminder of why we loved pop music so much in the first place, writes CAITLIN WELSH . As a female fan of pop music or a pop music fan who is also a fan of women, it’s been a largely heartening century so far. For every gross character like Brian McFadden or Chris Brown, there are the Robyns, Washingtons, Santigolds, Beyonces, Florences and, yes, Adeles, who perform variously with strength, subtlety, subversiveness, self-assurance and shit-kicking glee. But if you apply a sort of Bechdel test to pop music, it doesn’t fare ...

Maybe I don’t have enough prior knowledge of the specific era of pop that every journalist keeps citing, but I don’t think Catherine Kelleher sounds like anybody else other than herself. Sure, there are hints of the ’80s, 90s and now in the carefree chords and reverberating V-drums that pepper Catcall’s tunes, but it’s still [...]

Sydney’s Lancelot is back with another great remix, this time of Catcall‘s “The World Is Ours.” The track features riot grrrl vocals that call to mind 90s all girl punk rock groups like Bikini Kill. Lancelot adds a sultry deep house beat that is an unexpectedly great complement.

From a song that I already dig heaps, comes a remix that I dig equally as much. Sydney’s Lancelot has gone and had his way with Catcall‘s new single The World Is Ours. Makes it into a super late night deep house vibe and fucking hell. It kills it. One of the best remixes I’ve heard this [...]

Catcall : Official  | Facebook - Lancelot :  Facebook | Soundcloud Here's something nice and easy to get your day started with your morning coffee. Lancelot takes the original female lead vocal pop tune focused on teenage angst and creates a smooth and deep love tune. It'll be perfect for starting the dance floor with and it fits in with your personal selection of late night/early morning sexxxi time music. Enjoy... May 28 2012, Nativity

Our Australian boy Lance Gurisik aka Lancelot just shared a new remix and you know that this kid is a genius. Since the first time I heard “Spoken Word,” I knew it wasn’t going to be just one single shot. Now he’s remixing Catcall’s “The Is Ours” and one more time this is magnificent and [...]

(Ivy League) Indie pop kid shoots for the big time A couple of years back, Swimming Pool was the track that introduced Catcall to the world; a slow-burning electro pop jam with a bass line straight out of a sultry ‘80s skin flick and a sweetly sad vocal line that stuck right in your head. This debut album proves that Swimming Pool was no fluke – The Warmest Place is packed with dreamy, reverb-laden synth pop delights. There’s no getting away from the fact that Catcall’s Catherine Kelleher has ...

CATHERINE KELLEHER , who makes beguiling electro-pop under the name CATCALL , tells ALASDAIR DUNCAN how she came by the name, and where she’s going from here.

"I find it really hard to describe the sound as anything else than pop."
