ALBUM LAUNCH TOUR – JUNE JULY 2011
NEW ALBUM – ‘ON THE ROAD AGAIN’, TO BE RELEASED IN JUNE.

KATCHAFIRE announce Australian tour dates for June / July 2011, in celebration of their latest studio record ‘ON THE ROAD AGAIN’. The hot new record on its way to Australian shores, set for release June 2011 through Lion House Records.

Having gone gold and fastly approaching platinum in their homelands of Aoteoroa / New Zealand, this album has been making some serious waves. This is Katchafire at its finest, super catchy, soulful roots reggae music, done just right.

With the past 3 Katchafire records predominantly being written by lead singer Logan Bell & keys/sax/vocalist Jamie Ferguson, ON THE ROAD AGAIN marks an exciting new time for the band. It’s the first record that the whole band has contributed as writers which has brought out some soulful new flavours.

“On the Road Again has a far greater sense of collaboration on it. In the past, individuals have brought songs or ideas to the table and then the band flesh it out. On this album we let our guard down and let the strongest ideas be the ones that survived. We lived and breathed this album, working all through the night with our engineer and co-producer Nic Mander. It was a classic Katchafire experience, basically a family affair.” States lead singer Logan Bell.

In the past 3 years Katchafire has been gracing the global stage; Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Europe, UK, USA, Japan, major festivals & clubs have bounced to their infectious groove. Katchafire will be touring Australia in June/ July celebrating the launch of their new album, bringing a swag of new tunes and fresh renditions of their timeless classics.

Katchafire will be donating a percentage of profits to help rebuild Christchurch through the Christchurch earthquake appeal. They’ll be joined by many special guests including the sublime Maisey Rika from New Zealand for select dates.

They have been selling out tours of Australia over the last few years, be sure to get in quick as tickets will be selling fast….Katchafire is on the road again!
