Katchafire Bring Reggae Grooves to Australia

Posted on 01/07/2012 by Lauren Katulka

Acclaimed New Zealand reggae act Katchafire will head across the ditch for some Aussie shows in August and September.

The band has barely had time to breathe since releasing their fourth studio album On the Road Again. The latest batch of songs has seen them play a 25-date string of shows in the United States and a headline tour of Brazil. They recently returned to the US to appear the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, so they should be in fine form when they reach our shores.

Katchafire will take their time playing Aussie capitals and regional centres over a month long stay, including an appearance marking the 10th anniversary of the Cairns Reggaetown Festival. Catch them at the following venues:

31 August 2012 – The Hi-Fi Bar, Brisbane
1 September 2012 – Reggaetown Festival @ Kuranda Amphitheatre, Cairns
2 September 2012 – The Venue, Townville

Lauren Katulka cannot remember a time when music was not a part of her life. Raised on an eclectic diet of Van Morrison, The Eagles, Cold Chisel, and Barbra Streisand, she remembers saving all her pocket money for weeks so she could buy cassettes featuring her favourite singers. At the tender age of 11 she saw her first live concert when Jimmy Barnes took his Soul Deep tour to Newcastle’s Civic Theatre. There was no looking back.

Today Lauren is a happily married freelance writer living on the New South Wales Central Coast. When she's not obsessing about the latest band, or some old favourite, she loves to roller-skate, experiment with new recipes, play pub trivia, and watch indie films.
