The Catholics were formed in 1991 by highly-respected Australian bassist lloyd swanton (the necks, vince jones, bernie McGann, wendy matthews, among many others) as a vehicle for his composing and producing, with the intention of injecting a much-needed dose of infectious world rhythms into the jazz tradition. They were an instant success. In their long career, The Catholics have toured overseas to Canada, europe and Thailand, have won a mo award, and have been nominated for several aria and apra awards, and a German deutsche schallplattenkritik award also. After the atmospheric detour of their acclaimed previous album, 'gondola', ("the sound is big and the effects gorgeous - a beautiful release" - the wire, UK) 'village' returns The Catholics to their trademark fusing of jazz with various dance grooves from around the globe, a meld which has cemented their popular appeal here and abroad. From the mid-sixties blue note boogaloo of 'half a shark' and 'the cumbia of salaam', through african tones and island jive, to the freeze-dried gilberto-esque bossa of 'sugarloaf', this is another joyous and sensual album from The Catholics, imbued with humour and warmth. Beautifully recorded and mixed, 'village' represents a stepping-back by bandleader lloyd swanton from the chief composer role. Says swanton, "i'm delighted to be opening up the band's palette to other composers, both within and outside the band. On 'village', we've got first-time contributions such as our guitarist jonathan pease's beautiful african tune 'pelicans' and slide guitarist bruce reid's exquisite 'grace', we've got a great samba tune from our saxophonist sandy evans in 'sun dance', but we're also playing contributions from legendary saxophonist bernie McGann, ernest ranglin's drummer dion parson, and that great Australian pianist, barney McAll."

Longest lasting dog toys we’ve purchased.
Style: Fox, Raccoon, Squirrel
In 2020, we purchased these for our 6 month old puppy who was repeatedly destroying all of her toys. Christmas 2025, I gifted our dog a stuffed toy purchased from a local dog store. It was destroyed within an hour. Later that day, I found one of these little squirrels that we purchased FIVE years ago - still in action, a bit worse for the wear, but still very much loved by our dog. I decided to purchase another pack of these as they are clearly winners.

The Ad got me, the reality didn't
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
Directly from the ad- "Exclusive Noisemakers - Each large toy includes 3 high-quality round squeakers to deliver more sound to keep your best friend entertained.". Now my neighbor bought this squirrel with three high-quality squeakers nearly a year ago. It's ragged and tattered I just recently sewed it up for him where he chewed the one leg odd, but those three noise makers are still squeaking. Whe I got my pup, I immediately went to buy one and they were no longer selling them, so I've been on a search for one or an equivalent. These are not.
There's no stuffing to get all over the place when your pup breaks into it, a plus. However the squeakers weren't particularly loud and were silenced in a few hours. Two were dead and the remaining one was very well on its way. The toy itself was pretty much intact but that had more to do with the lack of attention from the dog than how rugged the toy is. He'll pick it up once in a while but it certainly didn't meet my expectations.
The good thing is that there are three of them so I can give him some brief excitement in the future. Wouldn't buy again.

Strong Chewer Friendly Toy
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
My dog is a rough chewer and these last a really long time (clearly since this beaver's face is long gone! The no stuffing is a win too for cleaning up afterwards.
