Katchafire Concert

katchafireLast night my wife and I spent the evening at the Yigo Amusement Park listening to reggae vibes of the Opihi Pickers, Kaipo, and Katchafire. The weather was good, the portable restrooms were air conditioned and clean (WOW!), the crowd was skankin’, and overall, the music was just excellent.

I’ll admit being skeptical about this concert because the last one we attended was a real disappointment. Third World had come to Guam and we had bought tickets, but the location and price really killed any chances of it being a success. I don’t recall the exact amount we paid, but I remember it being more than $20.00 with the concert being held indoors at the University of Guam Field House. Without the cool fresh night air and the moon out, it just wasn’t very enjoyable.

Reggae Concerts should be held exclusively outdoors in my opinion, and that was supported by the turnouts of the last two held here on Guam. The Katchfire concert at Jeff Pirates Cove in April was a huge success (I missed that one) and that success rolled over with Katchafire’s return and performance at the Yigo Amusement Park yesterday evening.

As for the actual music, everything was great. The local band Rebel Lion really rocked the park, and the three off island acts were great as well. Katchafire was the main event of the evening, but my wife preferred the Opihi Pickers and Kaipo over them. I can’t say I disagree with her because Katchafire played more of their newer material to promote their latest album and much of it was unfamiliar to my ears. I’m not knocking Katchafire at all, but I would have rather had them play more of their older tunes that my wife and I were hoping to hear over the course of the evening.

Overall the concert was sick and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend my Labor Day Weekend. I would definitely pay $20.00 for a concert at the same venue and hopefully we can get the band Sublime and Pepper out here sometime soon. That would definitely be a concert I would not miss.

Last but not least a huge shoutout to Expressions Studio Guam for the sick photos I took from their flickr account!

I Want You Exclusive (Making the Band 4)

MTB4Bryan Michael Cox has done it yet again. The multiple Grammy award winning song writer and producer has helped to catapult yet another of Diddy’s Making the Band productions into instant fan favorites.

I’m not too sure how everyone else feels about the single “I Want You Exclusive”, but I’m really digging the track released by Diddy’s new band. Making the Band 4 is definitely the highlight season of the franchise thus far and I think these guys are more than capable of performing well in the music industry under the tutorlidge and guidance of the BadBoy record label.

While searching for more information on the song and its lyrics, I unexpectedly came across a copy of the song which was hosted on Zshare. I wasn’t really too surprised that there was a hard copy of the song floating on the net, but what was disgusting was the fact that some people were trying to profit from it and sell it off their websites.

I hope that this premature release won’t slow the bands sales of the single when its finally released on the market, and I’ll be sure to support the group by purchasing a legit copy when the release is official.

Anyway, here are the lyrics for the song which I located at Any Song Lyrics dot com.
