Through 4 extremely successful studio albums, multiple awards, platinum sales, highest selling singles, and much more, Katchafire have cemented their status as one of NZ’s most successful exports. Their sound is built on the foundations of classic roots reggae with an R’n’B and funk rub, mashing modern dancehall and slinky reggae pop. They’ve crafted a universal vibe, capturing something truly special through a diversity of instrumentation and clarity of sound.
Katchafire are now an 8 piece collective of multi-talented songwriters and musicians, and have become a staple on the Californian and Pacific Roots scenes. Demand continues to grow for the non-stop feel good vibe of their incredible live shows, with invitations to acclaimed events such as Glastonbury, as well as opportunities opening circuits through Europe, Portugal and Brazil.
Their popularity and critical acclaim has seen them share the stage with artists from Damien Marley, Steel Pulse, UB40, The Wailers, to Michael Franti and Spearhead and many more.
