Fat Freddy’s Drop

Overview

Fat Freddy's Drop are no strangers to our shores. In fact they were here just last year performing one of the gigs of 2012, the jaw-dropping audiovisual album preview at the Sydney Opera House as part of Graphic 2012. Now they are returning with a full new album and a fresh live spectacle.

Blackbird is the New Zealand band's third studio album and presents their most complete sound yet, encompassing all the elements that have confounded cataloguers for the past decade. Their R&B, jazz, reggae, soul and techno mix comes together to showcase an incredible collective talent honed through years of performing.

Fat Freddy's Drop must be caught live as their performances are where they truly make their music. From tuning small elements to radically altering songs, the band uses their gigs as an invitation for improvisation and improvement, providing them with a platform to refine their unique sound. The band is inviting you to attend this incredible jam session at the Enmore Theatre on August 29 and September 3.
