Featuring Ngaiire, Mojo Juju, Emma Donovan & The Putbacks, Henry Wagons & The Only Children

There is still plenty of music left in the tank says Anthony Forrest

"We’re not a one-album band so there’s a lot of music still in us."

“We’re looking at going over to Europe hopefully – we’ll be getting confirmation about that at the end of March.”

The band will share headline duties with Dubmarine at select shows.

“With Paulie, it was a bit more of a professional relationship, even though there was that underlying friendship, but we were going to him as a producer so we valued his opinion. We wouldn’t have gone there for starters if we didn’t, but he also valued our opinions.”

This is a solid debut that pulls some surprises out of its well-worn Rasta hat. It should not only appeal to lovers of reggae, but also to newcomers looking for a sound complimentary to sun-drenched days and apathetic social activism.

All the elements are there. If Kingfisha are willing to extend their musical limits they will be a very successful band.
