"With their take on 70s LA pop, this Aussie duo resembles Empire of the Sun – but without the kabuki makeup and sci-fi regalia"
Gypsy & the Cat (a name from an old children's story book) is duo Lionel Towers (25) and Xavier Bacash (21) who only began making music a year ago in a garage in Melbourne.
A demo on MySpace got the attention of Australian radio station Triple J who playlisted the track Jona Vark. Interest followed, including support from Mark Ronson on his East Village radio show. London indie label Young & Lost was quick to secure the release of the group’s debut single, 'Time To Wander'.
After producing and recording their album in Melbourne, Gypsy & the Cat have now moved to London and are mixing their debut album, Gilgamesh, with David Fridmann (MGMT, Flaming Lips, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah) and Rich Costey (Mew, Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Glasvegas). Release date: November 23, 2010.
