New Zealand’s favourite home-grown reggae group KATCHAFIRE, are touring the world Again, celebrating the release of their brand new track and video ‘Burn It Down’. Based in Hamilton, the group have become a global roots reggae phenomenon, with the Maori reggae band bringing their pure classic sound to music lovers across the world.
With four highly successful studio albums, multiple awards, platinum sales, high selling singles, and a massive worldwide fanbase, KATCHAFIRE have crafted a universal vibe, with their sound being built on the foundations of classic roots reggae, RnB, funk, modern dancehall and slinky reggae pop. The group have become a staple on the Californian and Pacific Roots scene, with their first foray into the United States being a half-time performance at the 2006 NFL match in Hawaii. KATCHAFIRE have gone on to perform at Glastonbury, and throughout Europe, Portugal and Brazil, as demand continues to grow for the non-stop feel good vibe of their incredible live shows.
Their latest single 'Burn it Down’ was co written and co-produced with Stephen Rev Maxwell from Jamaica, and is a global effort on behalf of the band, with the track being recorded and mixed in studios in Jamaica, Australia, and New Zealand, truly giving the track an authentic reggae and ska sound.
The Brothers of the Fire recently finished up a massive USA tour with epic crowds in attendance, including selling out Mandalay Bay, and are hitting the road again to celebrate the release of the new single starting with a New Zealand Tour, before heading across to Australia.
KATCHAFIRE’S incredible touring schedule has coincided with a noticeably growing acceptance of reggae music from mainstream audiences, leading to increasingly enthusiastic responses to the group’s riotous live performances worldwide.
