This summer, Cat Power returns to Australia for a run of special shows performing her seminal 2006 album The Greatest in full — alongside songs spanning one of the most singular catalogues in contemporary music.
Recorded in Memphis with members of the legendary Hi Rhythm section, The Greatest remains a defining statement from Marshall: smoky, soulful and heartbreakingly intimate.

A man being told he is an animal. An animal encountering what it means to be human. Slowly, inevitably, their worlds begin to collide…
Deep in the engine room of a transatlantic ocean liner, Yank is powerful, proud and certain of his place. But when an encounter with the wealthy elite fractures his sense of who he is, he is propelled into a search for belonging in a society divided by class.
Elsewhere, deep in the forest, an Ape is equally at home. Powerful and free, she is queen of her domain, until she is torn from it and hurtled into the world of man.
It's the most wonderful time of the year. And this year, it's about to get even better – for the very first time in Canberra.

Whether you're a devoted listener of Chat 10 Looks 3, curious as to what all the fuss is about, or simply looking to make some like-minded friends and cry-laugh in a darkened theatre, Chat 10 Looks 3 Live is the show for you.
