Search - KATCHAFIRE :: Rivial & Slow Burning

2 CD set containing the albums Rival & Slow Burn. Reggae is one of the bloodlines of New Zealand music -- which accounts for the extraordinary success of Hamilton?s Katchafire who, two years ago, emerged as the hardest working band in the country. Their astonishing debut album, the prophetically named Revival, sold in excess of 30,000 copies (double platinum) and they scored massive hits with songs like Giddy Up, the biggest selling NZ single of 2002. They have also, opened shows for the likes of Michael Franti and Spearhead. And now they are stepping up again with a cracking new album Slow-Burning which shows them reaching a new level. More than on their debut they pull in threads of dub and toasting, there are musical references to the sound of classic Trojan records. 2006
