She says there is also beautiful community spirit in New Zealand, especially in places like Rotorua.
Cat says the community encourages the music scene and art, which she thinks is inspiring and something looking forward to.
She says although they are a two-piece band, Leisha and her have a way of filling out the sound so people thought they could hear a five-piece band.
"We bring a lot of energy and give every show our everything. We hope that people enjoy it and that we see people at the Rotorua show."
Cat says they recorded their new EP over in Canada, which is something a little different for them.
"We got out of our comfort zone and recorded in Toronto. We are pretty proud of what came out of this EP."
She says the inspiration for the EP is pretty diverse as her and Leisha and both write separately.
However, one of these songs they wrote together.
"Playing drums for me is one of my favourite things in the world. I get a lot out of sharing my craft with an audience - playing live and the energy I get to share with a crowd.
"Music is an incredibly powerful tool to connect with other people and I get a lot from that."
Cat and Leisha met in Canada at the festival Artsworld. They were both Australian and on tour with different bands.
They started chatting and then it was not until the following year they next saw each other at same festival.
Cat says Leisha was heading home and was essentially bandless as the other members were staying in Canada after falling in love.
She says they started jamming together just to be creative, which she found inspiring and energising.
"We just started out as a garage band jamming for fun once a week, letting the creativity flow. It wasn't until 2017 we decided we should take it seriously."
Last year This Way North played more than 120 live shows in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
