Cat-Powered Laser Show a Hit for Touring Band

British indie rock band The Gemstones can barely afford to tour, let alone set up a fancy lighting rig. Fortunately, their manager has discovered a low-cost way to generate an exciting laser show to compliment gigs.

“The light that reflects from cats’ eyes is a great substitute,” says Clive Silkwood, who’s managed the band since 2007. “You’ve just got to position about 20 cats around the stage and get them to stand still during the entire set. It’s a real pain sometimes, but it’s cheaper than a light crew.”
