New Zealand Music Month 27: Fat Freddys Drop

Posted by on May 29th, 2010

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? ;-)

    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!

    No. No it does not.
