Catherine McQuade is a gifted and articulate musician and composer whose latest release, Kiss Him Goodbye, showcases her remarkable talent. The album is a beautiful blend of lush textures and intricate arrangements that reflect her deep understanding of both music and storytelling.

A truly creative and hardworking artist, McQuade has approached the creation of this album with the same passion and commitment that has defined her entire musical career. From composing to recording, she’s poured her energy into crafting a body of work that resonates with depth and emotion, making Kiss Him Goodbye an album that invites listeners into her musical world.

The Kiss Him Goodbye album launch event, which took place at St Kilda's Memo Music Hall, was an unforgettable celebration of music. The evening was anchored by the legendary Jack Howard (Hunters & Collectors), who launched his new album Lightheavyweight 2. The event was further elevated by the incredible Rosie Westbrook, who presented her third album, Always The Sea. Westbrook was joined by the renowned guitarist John Phillips, celebrated for his work with Not Drowning, Waving, adding even more musical brilliance to the night. The atmosphere was made even more memorable by special guest appearances from the iconic Dave Graney and Claire Moore, ensuring the evening was filled with exceptional performances and unforgettable moments.

While Catherine McQuade’s career as the bassist for the iconic post-punk groups The Ears and Deckchairs Overboard is impressive in its own right, there is much more to her story. McQuade’s story through the world of music is one defined by her unique voice, her dedication to her craft, and her constant evolution as an artist. Rather than me telling her story, I’ll leave it to Catherine herself to share the story that has brought her to this remarkable point in her career.
