The UK's ever-engaging classic rock darlings Cats in Space have been on quite a roll since their formation back in 2015, and with a small handful of studio albums to their credit and another one set to hit this fall, why not release a live album to get us excited for the new studio platter? That's precisely what they've done with Fire in the Night-Live, a double live album compiled of recordings from throughout their UK tour of Kickstart the Sun, the band's 2022 release. Across the two CD's, Cats in Space toss out a collection of some of their strongest tracks, with a healthy dose from their most recent album to add to the fun. Standouts are many, but it's always a pleasure to hear the band giving it their all on choice cuts such as "Teenage Millionaires", "Fifty-One Pillow Bed", "Too Many Gods", "Johnny Rocket", "Atlantis", "Marionettes", and personal favorites "Bootleg Bandorleros", "Hologram Man",and of course the title track of their last album, "Kickstart the Sun".
Damien Edwards' vocals are stellar throughout (as are the band's backing vocals), and there's no shortage of crisp guitar riffs and keyboards to give each song the right amount of heft and shine. Big hooks are everywhere, as Cats in Space delivers all that is so great about these songs on the studio albums, ready-made for the stage for all to sing along to. The CD booklet is full of live shots from the tour (becoming a ready-made tour program!), adding more enjoyment to this kick-ass live document. Now, if only the band get over here to the US for some live shows...
