Cathy sings "Golden Child" at Chill!See Cathy playing keys live with Eric Az!It’s funny how a single movie can inspire us to pursue our dreams. “Keyboard Cathy†Wiegand wandered into the 2005 film adaptation of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and walked out not itching to travel through space, but humming “So Long & Thanks for All the Fish,†the whimsical end credits song by Irish singer Neil Hannon—who just so happens to be the frontman of one of her favorite groups, The Divine Comedy. The versatile singer/songwriter had performed at live benefits for years and had amassed a large catalog of instrumentals in her Roland E-600, but that fish song—and her lifelong love of sushi—led “Keyboard Cathy†to dust off her dreams and record her clever, quirky, sublimely melodic debut indie album Inspiration in 2006. Her irresistible new seven song EP Sushi Lover features “So Long & Thanks For All The Fish†(in case you missed it the first time!), revamped takes of “Eternity†and “Give a Little More,†the brand new “Miracle Worker†(an incisive satire about her former life in the corporate world) and two versions of her trademark “Sushi Loverâ€â€”the original and a high spirited, “extra spicy†house remix by the San Antonio band Hyperbubble.The song “So Long & Thanks for All the Fish†is about dolphins jumping into space when they realize the world is about to end. Likewise, “Keyboard Cathy†is ready to take off and conquer the heads and hearts of folks who appreciate a good melody with their wit and wisdom.
