Cate Brothers: New Victoria, London
Mick Houghton, Sounds, 6 November 1976
EVERY SO OFTEN a group's live performance is so good that their albums from that moment on lose something of the impact they once had. Such was the case with the Cate Brothers last week. They were that good. Real hot stuff, and the tightest thing since pre-shrunk Levis.
