About
Welcome to Fuck Yeah! The Cat Empire. A tumblr dedicated to that indescribably wonderful band. And that's what this is, a fanmade website. I have no associations with the band beyond my love for it and its members. Posts are quite random in their forms but reasonable in timing. Feel free to SUBMIT things you related to the band, have a look around and click links.
You can find me (on my personal blog) at alittlebraver. Or just message me, goes to the same askbox. :D
Fair warning, if you want to harass me, do it on one blog... and be reasonable in your argument.Helpful Tags

WILL’s Band Bio
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE SPORTS?
Aussie Rules Footy and basketball have always been my favourite sports. I still play basketball with mates that I’ve played with since I was about 8 yrs old. Aussie Rules is such a good game to watch though, especially when the Blues are firing!
HOW OFTEN WOULD YOU SAY YOU PRACTICED?
I practice when I can, but probably not as much as i would like. I’ve really got to keep a good life balance now that i have a family with two kids. I do quiet practice on the pad in the house where i live, otherwise my drums are still set up in the basement at my parent’s place, which is quite sound proof. I try to get there once a week to do full-kit practice. Otherwise, gigs and rehearsals are the best situations to play in because it keep your ‘match fitness’ up.
WHAT DRUMKIT DO YOU PLAY?
I have a number of drumkits now. Most of the time though i play a 4-piece set-up with a 22” bass drum, 14” snare, 13” rack tom & 16” floor tom. I go between two drumkits - one of them is a beautiful old Ludwig Superclassic from the mid 60’s that i bought at a second-hand drum store in London in 2004. I got it shipped straight to Cuba and we used it on the ‘Two Shoes’ album. The other kit i play is a 1970’s Rogers which has great tone!
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?
When I was younger I played heaps of sport, particularly footy and basketball. They were appealing to me as careers for quite a while, but once I discovered music things changed and I started putting more time and energy into playing the drums and things just progressed from there!
IF YOU GET ANY SPARE TIME, WHAT DO YOU DO IN IT?
I spend time with my wife and our two young boys, family, friends, play basketball with the mighty White Fangs, play in a couple of other bands, and i also do casual work doing residential drafting and design since finishing a Diploma of Building Design & Technology in 2010.
FAVOURITE FOOD?
I am very easy to please when it comes to food as anyone else in the band can attest! I can’t go past a good hearty meal of lamb shanks, mash and veges though…and Crème Broulee for dessert!
WHO ARE THE WHITE FANGS?
The White Fangs are a really really ridiculously good looking pro basketball team from the East. But, the name comes from a dark underground figure who hails from the Great Western shores of Victoria, that is, Warrnambool. White Fang is alive, and by god you better respect him! Ha ha…
HAVE YOU EVER WON ANYTHING (ASIDE FROM AN ARIA)?
Various assorted sporty things. when i was younger. I was part of a 4 X 100m relay team in high school, and we won the state championship @ Olympic park 5 years in a row. Unfortunately we couldn’t make it a straight 6 because we failed to poll a place in our final year!
DOGS OR CATS?
Contrary to what the name of the band suggests, I much prefer Dogs. I’m actually allergic to cats!
PC OR MAC?
I’m still holding on in the PC world, while many of my peers have moved to the dark side.
