The infectious groove of Fat Freddys Drop has defined the “Wellington sound” of recent years. They bestrode the first decade of the century with a mixture of dub, reggae, soul and funk that seems to never fail to deliver, both on record and live. There have been a few line-ups changes, but the great songs just keep coming. They are currently touring a theatre show, which by the sounds of things is a fantastic event. They are touring Europe with the show later in the year, and further international success awaits them.
and for the benefit of any Dom Post journalists reading. I think FFD are awesome, I really did enjoy Shihad at the ACDC concert, does that make me ‘young and hip’ again?
Alright!
I LOVE this album & song, but Dr Boondigga and the Big BW is their best album I think….especially love Shiverman. They are awesome live – can’t beat a bunch of boys who can sing and play a variety of brass instruments!
“…does that make me ‘young and hip’ again?”
No. No it does not.
