Streamed on the same day that Cats In Space unveil their fourth album, Atlantis, this ticketed, full-production show serves as a warm welcome to the band’s third lead singer, Damien Edwards. If the speedy exit of Mark Pascall presented cause for concern, then just like the quality revealed on Atlantis, the newbie’s performance behind closed doors in Wolverhampton eradicates doubt of any kind. He was apparently born to deliver the sextet’s nostalgic catnip for the human ear.
Edwards is equally at home on the Sweet-flavoured bubblegum anthem Revolution as he is on the slower, more intricate schmaltz of I Fell Out Of Love With Rock ‘N’ Roll. Oddly, however, despite the significance of the day, Cats In Space don’t thrust wave after wave of brand new material upon us.
