Cats in Space

Cats in Space are a British power pop rock band, active since 2015, presenting their seventh studio album with a new line-up. This Glasgow date at Cottiers Theatre is a live launch for the record.

The band released their first album, Too Many Gods, in 2015, the year they began. Their core members are vocalist Damien Edwards, guitarist Greg Hart, drummer Steevi Bacon and keyboard player Andy Stewart. Their three most recent albums each reached number one in the UK rock charts, and the label Cherry Red/Esoteric pushed their previous record, Time Machine, to their highest sales figures so far. The new album marks ten years of the group's work, and the band describe it as their largest and heaviest project to date.

For the launch shows, the founding members are joined by bassist Chris Childs, whose credits include Tyketto and Thunder, and by Sam Wood, who has played with Black Star Riders and Uriah Heep. The sets combine older songs from the band's catalogue with tracks from the new album, and the group pairs their music with a strong visual presentation, which is part of how they stage their concerts.

Cottiers Theatre stands at 93-95 Hyndland Street in Glasgow. The venue mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music, which suits a rock show of this kind.
