Susie Says! is beyond excited to announce two special performances by Mercury-prize nominated avant-pop artist and producer Cate Le Bon.

Cate last visited New Zealand in 2019 on a rather epic sold-out tour, playing on grand piano to rapt audiences in Dunedin, Oamaru, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. For Cate's upcoming two shows she will be bringing a full five-piece band, a selection of awesome musicians from across the globe.

Cate's live performances are riveting, electric, spellbinding; Brooklyn Vegan agrees, describing her two sold-out New York City shows as "mesmerising". "Effortlessly blending a diverse range of styles and influences into a unified whole, Cate Le Bon’s latest live show is a masterclass," says The Scotsman, while The Telegraph experienced the climax of Cate's shows as "rapturous".

Cate 's performances will feature material from her sixth album P ompeii , as well as songs from 2019’s Mercury-Prize nominated Reward . Global music media is agog about Pompeii: Released in February this year, Pompeii has been called a "wondrous... dreamscape whose locked-in grooves approach the unknowable at slanted angles" by Pitchfork; "high art spiked with an unpredictable liveliness" gushes Stereogum, and "an album of the year" says The Guardian, while Canada's music magazine Exclaim! raves “Pompeii lands somewhere between Hejira-era Joni Mitchell and the solo work of Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier — rarified air where Le Bon undoubtedly belongs.”
