FANS of Warrnambool jazz combo the Frisky Go Cats can regularly enjoy its performances now the band has secured a spot at the city's new venue, the Basement at Images. Wednesday nights at the Basement will be shared by Wax Lyrical the Australian Songwriters Association's Open Stage Nights and the Frisky Go Cats. The venue opened last night and is a comfortable underground room with an intimate old fashioned club atmosphere, perfect for jazz. A Wax Lyrical session kick-started the opening and the Frisky Go Cats will follow that from next Wednesday, with guest guitarist John Hudson. Alternating weekly, the two varied shows are sure to keep southwest audiences entertained for months. The Frisky Go Cats trio, which was formed last Au gust, includes Matt Hewson on tenor and soprano saxophone, Ruben Shannon on electric and double bass and vocals and Jon Emry on drums and percussion. All three play jazz with a fresh edge of contemporary funk, fusion and improvisation. The regular gig at Images will give the band an opportunity to workshop new material and extend its catalog of live recordings. '
