ALBUM NO. 2
Is underway. 3/4 of the tracks are finished and so far it's sounding beautiful. The songs recorded are as diverse as the previous album, at the most extreme ends of the scale are a yearning Icehouse/Flowers inspired number and something Kat describes as sounding "like a Polish funeral march, but kind of uplifting."

'LOVE ME' VIDEO SHOOT
Kat has just finished two days on location at the beautiful old 'Palmkernölspeicher' in Berlin, shooting the new video for 'Love Me', from her forthcoming album. According to Kat, the video is, "one part Tim Burton, one part Kate Bush, and one part Rufus Wainwright..." Photos will be up on facebook soon.

For more information about the Palmkernölspeicher (it's available as a film-location, and soon you can live there), please visit: http://am-phoenix.de/



BALLHAUS OST W/SUSIE ASADO
On the 7th November, Kat and Susie played to a sold out Ballhaus Ost in Berlin. Kat and Ms Asado had such a great time that they are planning a repeat performance for early next year. Stay tuned, as they say. If you haven't heard of Susie Asado, she was born from a poem and is one of Kat's favourite songwriters. Do take a listen here: www.myspace.com/susieasado



ROCK CARNAZA CHILE
On the 2nd October, Kat visited Valparaíso, Chile to play the 3rd Rock Carnaza festival, held at the Teatro Municipal. The festival was held over four nights, and over 1500 people attended to witness Kat perform with two of Chile's best-known and loved songwriters, Manuel Garcia and Eduardo Gatti. The event's structure was a little different from usual - the artists appeared on stage together and took turns performing their songs one at a time. Part of the fun was finding out who would play what next...! Kat hopes to return to Chile next year.

"Kat Frankies Stimme lässt niemanden kalt, ihre traurig-wuchtigen Lieder lösen selbst bei nüchternen Menschen Gänsehaut aus."
Die Tageszeitung (TAZ) - 23. Sept 2009

"Die Australierin Kat Frankie ... ist so eine Künstlerin, die die Gefühle der Zuhörer bis ins Detail zu sezieren vermag. Dafür braucht sie nur eine Gitarre und ihre beeindruckende Stimme, die sie, mal sanft schnurrend wie ein Kätzchen, mal laut und wütend schreiend, sorgfältig einsetzt und deren Bann man sich nicht entziehen kann."
Leipziger Volkszeitung (LVZ) - 22. Juni 2009

"... schließlich geht es um Wahrheit, nicht um Entertaining."
Zitty, Berlin - 9. April 2009
