Judging by the heat wave we’re currently boiling through, it’s clear that summer has arrived—and that’s just fine with the guys from Katchafire. Hailing from Hamilton, New Zealand, the band has been pumping out sunny, roots-reggae anthems since their formation in 2000 as a Bob Marley tribute band. It’s been a minute since the band dropped a full-length (2010’s On The Road Again), but they released the laid-back single “Burn It Down” last September. Katchafire will be joined by Monterey Bay reggae group One A-Chord, Bay Area top-rankers Mango Kingz.
