Fabulously funky Fat Freddy's Drop rocks VEGA
Dub, soul, reggae, rock, roots, R&B, funk and jazz. New Zealand's Fat Freddy's Drop are masters of combination, and there's hardly a genre that can't be applied to this colorful ensemble. This cocktail is a hit amongst Danish fans, who love Fat Freddy's Drop so much that the band has been playing sold-out shows in Denmark since 2010.
With well over 1000 shows under their belt, where the septet demonstrates their impressive live form time and time again, Fat Freddy's Drop is a musical force to be reckoned with live.
Featuring saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, bass and drums, Fat Freddy's Drop deliver their critically acclaimed live show to ecstatic audiences around the world. Unlike many other bands, Fat Freddy's songs are created in the moment and built on improvised jams, resulting in eight studio albums to date. Their first, Based on A True Story, was also created in this way and was the first independent release to hit #1 on the New Zealand charts.
In 2024, a brand new album titled BAYS is on the way, which, as usual, will be played live, taking the band on the road once again.
