Het is iets meer dan dertig jaar geleden dat CATS in premiere in Amsterdam ging met onder anderen Ruth Jacott in de rol van Grizabella. Het is de eerste keer sinds 10 jaar dat de klassieker van componist Andrew Loyd Webber in Nederland te zien is. Marc van Kaam, directeur van het Luxor Theater is erg enthousiast over de komst van CATS naar Rotterdam: "We zijn erg trots dat de Londense West End versie van de musical nu in Rotterdam te zien is. Hierdoor krijgt iedereen in Rotterdam en omstreken de kans om deze klassieker in zijn originele taal in ons theater te zien!"

Today, Royal Trux are announcing their first album of new songs since 2000's Pound for Pound slated for release on March 1st via Fat Possum. The new album White Stuff  not only maintains the magic chemistry between Jennifer Herrema (vocal, moog, guitar, melodica) and Neil Hagerty (vocal, guitar) but expands upon it greatly with their natural ability to give us something unexpected, necessary, and truly unique. Their own formidable and informed imaginations.... the same two creative minds that brought us (to name a few) Twin Infinitives, Cats and Dogs and Accelerator, are present in the unadulterated, exhilarating energy that has the album listed on Pitchfork and Stereogum's most highly anticipated albums of 2019 lists. The newest single they are sharing, 'White Stuff,' follows on the heels of the recently released 'Every Day Swan' and 'Get Used To This' (featuring Kool Keith). Their lengthy recording break has done nothing to diminish their visionary, visceral intensity and enduring influence. We are incredibly excited to be sharing what they've cooked up in their collaborative kitchen and know we are most definitely not alone in this enthusiasm.
