Last Friday we played at the Republic Bar in North Hobart for the first time, supporting My Disco. James Tulczyn was on mixing and recording duties, and thanks to him we can now bring you the epic finale, an extended version of Water Down, in which the Native Cats lineup expanded temporarily, with only brief and cryptic warning, to include the following additional personnel:

Jordan Marson (Actual Drums)
Anthony Rochester (tambourine)
"Kylie" (cowbell)
anywhere up to 20 Republic patrons (chopsticks on beer glasses)

Not to be outdone, Julian threw in some poison-arrow bass at the end and I tried my damndest to be an Actual Frontman for once. That's our last show for a little while, we'll be back and starting all over again in August or thereabouts.
