http://kifaru.multiply.com/ Just a small introduction to the songs playing on our home page. We recorded two songs for the BBC Wild Caribbean wildlife documentary, available on BBC records on the EMI label (cat. no. 0946 3 87382 2 0), Monkey Movin features Errol on vocals, &amp; So Hot features Errol on rhythm guitar, Jason on Bass &amp; Stevo on drums. We've also included the original recording of Kifaru playing So Hot before David Lowe added further instruments to make it sound as it does now. By the way, the version of So hot that can be heard is Stevo's remix, which will hopefully feature on the single when it is released, otherwise it's exclusive to this site.<br><br><br>Welcome to the Kifaru website, home of Coventry's Premier reggae band.

Always the Sun is my favourite track.

Thought I'd post the links for you here. In the 80's &amp; 90's I used to go to record fairs and buy all these live tapes with dodgy art work (usually on flourescent paper), used to bump into my fellow Gutter Cats Andy &amp; Fred at every one. Anyway these are the equivalent of those Saturday afternoons, without having to spend a fiver a pop, getting home and realising it sounded like the gig was recorded in a toilet.<br><br><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4773KV3F">http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4773KV3F</a> Poison live 2007<br><a href="http://roio.blogspot.com/">http://roio.blogspot.com/</a><br><a href="http://gabba-hey.blogspot.com/">http://gabba-hey.blogspot.com/</a><br><a href="http://live80.webs.com/fashion.htm">http://live80.webs.com/fashion.htm</a><br><a href="http://digivinyltal.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html">http://digivinyltal.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html</a><br><a href="http://theultimatebootlegexperience.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html">http://theultimatebootlegexperience.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html</a><br><a href="http://live-bootleg.blogspot.com/">http://live-bootleg.blogspot.com/</a><br><a href="http://mixingdesk.blogspot.com/">http://mixingdesk.blogspot.com/</a><br><a href="http://saltyka.blogspot.com/">http://saltyka.blogspot.com/</a><br><a href="http://soundaboard.blogspot.com/">http://soundaboard.blogspot.com/</a><br><a href="http://vivalesbootlegs.blogspot.com/">http://vivalesbootlegs.blogspot.com/</a><br><br>Happy Plundering.

A great time was had by the band.<br>&nbsp;Arrived on the Friday about six o'clock &amp; after a little confusion, got our accomodation for the weekend. The place had been a little hard to find, so Sarah was too tired to go driving around in search of a supermarket for supplies so we decided we could wait till Saturday. After one drink we realised we hadn't any beer back at base so we went shopping after all! We thought we could get to the shop &amp; back before Roddy &amp; The Skabilly Rebels came on at 10pm. Walking past the venue just after 9 we could hear Ratrace so we legged it back to base to drop our supplies off and catch the rest of their set. I think one band hadn't turned up so The Skabs went on an hour earlier. A good set from Roddy &amp; the boys, shame I missed Hey Little Rich Girl. As we had our set at 12pm the next day I thought it prudent I go to bed at a reasonable time..........<br>Saturday: Got up at about 8am, apparently s... http://kifaru.multiply.com/journal/item/13/Ska_Splash_from_a_Stevo_Kifaru_perspective Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:37:00 -0000 Kifaru at Ska Splash 2008 brilliant time had by us http://kifaru.multiply.com/photos/album/30/Ska_Splash_2008 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:52:43 -0000 Modern Ska classic from Stoke on Trent's Rough Kutz. Taken at Ska Splash 2008. Later on in the vid you can see our new keyboard player Shan get up & dance onstage, you can also see Sarah in one clip. Sorry for the sound quality but I was far too close to speakers.

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:47:02 -0000 In 1999, Ronnie Spector released the She Talks to Rainbows EP. Produced by Joey Ramone, it was a match made in Punk/Glam Heaven. It includes two Ramones tracks, the title track & a duet with Joey on "Bye Bye Baby". Also included is Brian Wilson's “Don't Worry Baby” (which he wrote for Ronnie) & a sublime version of Johnny Thunders' “You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory,” This has to be the best version of the song I've ever heard (I've got four different versions) & I thought I would share this with you all (especially Fred, a big Dolls/Thunders http://kifaru.multiply.com/music/item/211/A_Little_Gem_for_Fred_Guttercat_and_any_other_Glam_Rockers_out_there....

Listen to that bassline, and the almost drum machine precision of Steve 'Grizzly' Nisbett. This song was shocking on its first release, no less because of its use of the 'N' word but more because when it was performed live Steel Pulse wore Klan hoods on-stage. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x317/Kifaru/kkkpos.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> Turn up loud & http://kifaru.multiply.com/music/item/208/Steel_Pulse_-_Ku_Klux_Klan Thu, 29 Nov 2007 11:22:47 -0000 Me & Sarah at the NEC http://kifaru.multiply.com/photos/album/24/Motorbike_Show_2007 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 02:44:57 -0000 Here's a bike for Andy that he doesn't need a licence for.

Tired of that hairy fat babboon at the back, you know, the one who is supposedly keeping it all in time? Sick of having him ruin your solo, or playing a drum roll halfway through your angst ridden 'quiet' verse about when your missus left you for the previous drummer?
