Katchafire (NZ) With Special Guest Mike Love (Hawaii)

About

“Around that time, came Katchafire out of Aotearoa, and I remember them hitting the islands like a storm with heavy roots feel and beautiful lush harmonies. The album Revival was on heavy rotation on our local radio, with basically every song on it sounding like it could be a single. Me and everyone I knew were captured by their unique yet familiar sound.” – Mike Love

Katchafire’s next Guest Edition single is a collaboration on their ‘Sensimillia’ single with Hawaii’s Mike Love, who will also be joining the band on their 2026 Australian Tour. ‘Sensimillia’ with Mike Love lands on August 7, and the Australian tour runs for five weeks in October and November (Dates & venues below). The forthcoming ‘Revival 2.0 Guest Edition’ album is out November 27.

Speaking about the upcoming collaboration and Australian Tour, Mike Love said "In Hawai’i in the mid-2000s we had a beautiful and thriving roots reggae scene. There was so much inspiration coming from so many places in the world and we had our own underground sound that we had cultivated, with countless talented groups and musicians. Around that time, came Katchafire out of Aotearoa, and I remember them hitting the islands like a storm with heavy roots feel and beautiful, lush harmonies. The album Revival was on heavy rotation on our local radio, with basically every song on it sounding like it could be a single. Me and everyone I knew were captured by their unique yet familiar sound.
