Cate Le Bon

ALWAYS LIVE, Mistletone and Triple R present the return of indie icon Cate Le Bon and her band.

Welsh-born, California-dwelling singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and in-demand producer Cate Le Bon returns to Australia in celebration of Pompeii, her sixth full-length studio album, and one of this year’s most acclaimed releases, with accolades from Pitchfork Best New Music to Triple R Album of the Week.

The past few years have seen Le Bon emerge as a much lauded and sought-after collaborator, producing albums for contemporaries such as Deerhunter (Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?), John Grant (Boy From Michigan), and forthcoming albums from both Devendra Banhart and H. Hawkline, and playing a prominent guest role on new albums by Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile. As Bradford Cox aptly noted about Le Bon, “there are artists who look inwards or outwards, and then there are the very rare ones who transcend either location.”

More succinctly, Perfume Genius tweeted, "Cate Le Bon the only cool person left!"
