KaTe an obscure cult figure? Ha ha. KaTe is 'obscure' ONLY in the US. 
In the UK she is a very popular artist, with lots of Top 10 singles,
and No 1 albums. Actually all over Europe. I remember the display of 
the tiniest record store in my neighborhood in Athens, Greece, being 
full of KaTe posters and promo stuff during the release of TKI, and 
most subsequent LPs. 

But even in the US. "Alternative Rock" radio stations play her songs all the
time, and she is popular and known enough to be used as a standard for
comparing other female artists to her by Rolling Stone, and MTV. 

Too bad they don't do 'KaTe Bush Hounds-o-rama Weekends' on MTV, though. :)

You want obscure cult figures, try Happy Rhodes.
