More Rumours... Will Hoge?

Following up on the "major project" mentioned recently, user 'sunset light' in the forums dug up some interesting links! Ryan mentions Will Hoge, who they played with a couple of times on the US tour:

And they're all top dudes too. With a bad bad badass tour bus. You should see how purple that thing is. We're trying to convince them to come to the Land of Oz.

And on Will Hoge's site, he has a couple of things to say about TCE:

So back to The Cat Empire. It doesn't seem like it would work but it was f***ing great. Super cool guys. Talented, talented musicians and we all just hit it off. Somehow we realized that the only real common thread we shared was soul and energy. But those are pretty important for all of us. So point is, it was great. There's gonna be a lot of cool stuff in the near future for both bands (together and separately). We'll keep you posted on that.

Now, it seems that this is a little too recent to be the project that resulted in cutting short the European tour, but who knows? Definitely more grist for the rumour mill...
