Music is the language of us all - The Cat Empire

Currently living in St Kilda with my musically named dog, Layla, I am a pretty massive music fan even though I’m not a music creator. My role with Saddle has been the email and social media communications, and it’s been fun being part of such a passionate and hard-working team. My favourite genre of music is 90s grunge/alternative, but I branch out in all directions from there. My last gig was SummerSalt Festival on the Mornington Peninsula. My first ever gig was Sheryl Crowe at The Palais in Melbourne when I was in primary school – but the first gig that really had an impact on me was Incubus at Festival Hall in the mid 2000s.
