  WITH a dynamic live show and an uncanny ability to switch genres and jump between styles mid-set, ...WITH a dynamic live show and an
  uncanny ability to switch genres
  and jump between styles mid-set,
  Brisbane-based outfit Schoolfight is
  all set to woo crowds at the annual

  Fronted by Far North product and

  jams through to hard-hitting hip-hop

  guitar lines and frantic keys.

  looking forward to performing in
  front of Far Northern audiences once
  again as part of the festival.
  “I love it, Kuranda is a special place
  for me and this will be the first year
  Schoolfight has played the festival,”
  he said.
  “Kuranda Roots combines great
  acts in a beautiful location with lots
  of groovers that dig music and love a
  good time.
  “We are really looking forward to
  playing the new album to the Far
  North crowd – it’s got a few laid back
  reggae style tunes laced with that
  hip hop goodness.”

  Champers was released in 2005,
  gaining the Fight national exposure.
