Product Description

     New Zealand's #1 group, Katchafire reaches a new level of musical depth and maturity on their
upcoming release.  Say What You're Thinking brings 12 original tracks with jazz, pop, rock and even
hip-hop influences enhancing a solid roots reggae foundation.  The harmonies are tighter; the songwriting
more compelling, and the band's instrumental prowess is up a couple of notches.  Touring the world and
finding new fans all over the Pacific, Hawai'i, Europe and the mainland U.S. in the past year and a half
has seasoned this group and expanded their musical horizons.  The results are truly world class.
    
Katchafire is well known for trading instruments among themselves during their marathon live shows. 
This versatility is demonstrated as never before on Say What You're Thinking, with no less than five
different band members sharing lead vocal duties.  Front man Logan Bell contributes four tunes including
Meant To Be, an instant classic love song already getting major airplay on all the Hawaiian Islands.  Jamey
Ferguson delivers his unmistakable raspy leads on four more, including the thoughtful title track and
gospel-tinged Doesn't Anybody.  Percussionist Leon Davey shows off his vocal skills on Now Girl and
Love Letter, as does drummer Jordan Bell on J Dubb.  And keyboardist Haani Totorewa shines on This
World, a timely piece of social commentary that's positive and uplifting without being preachy.
    
With double platinum status and over 100,000 records sold in their home market, Katchafire graced
the cover of New Zealand Musician earlier this year.  Last year they conquered Hawai'i, becoming
the first non-local band ever to headline the KCCN Birthday Bash at the Waikiki Shell.  Their previous
albums Revival and Slow-Burning hit the national Reggae and World Music charts hard.  With the musical
evolution evident on their latest release, combined with their relentless tour schedule and phenomenal
live shows, it's only a matter of time before the whole world is Katchafire country.
