The Cat Empire
Kate Miller-Heidke
The Cops
Five kids who met in high school after a reconnaissance mission by vocalist / guitarist Amandah Wilkinson (to fill numbers for a band competition), collated their collective musical quirks and somehow made the incongruous concoction work. I mean, they employ a violin and yet Woodford Folk Festival would sooner club baby seals than put this energetic and eccentric outfit on a lineup. "We rehearsed at lunch times in the practice room," explains Wilkinson. "I picked people at random who I knew played an instrument, and they just said yes."
From there, Operator Please have signed a record deal, toured the world and are slowly living up to their 'next big thing' name tag. If you haven't heard of Operator Please by now, you'd want to pay close attention because they are the future of Australian music!
