Biografía de Fat Freddy's Drop

Fat Freddy’s Drop is a seven piece reggae band from Wellington, New Zealand who have both an awesome name and an incredible sense of musical style.

A cool combination of dub, reggae, soul, jazz and rhythm and blues, the band has a very chilled out style that is addictive as it is compelling. The band originated merely as an excuse for the members to jam together whilst working in other bands. However, in 1999 the band became each member’s sole focus as they realised the enormous potential of the band. Chris Faiumu can be cited as being the founder of the band and is a remaining member today, along with musicians Dallas Tamaira, Toby Laing, Scott Towers, Tehimana Kerr, Iain Gordon and Joe Lindsay.

The band’s most famous single is ‘Midnight Marauders’ which was released in 2002, earned them international recognition and was their real rising point in the industry. Enormously successful in New Zealand, the band has released three studio albums, two live albums and several singles as of 2014. Their second album ‘Based on a True Story’ is arguably their most successful and garnered them several awards and nominations including Album of the Year and Highest Selling NZ Album at the RIANZ New Zeakand Music Awards. Their third album, ‘Dr Boondigga and the Big BW’ also won them Album of the Year at the award show in 2009.

Críticas en vivo

Fat Freddie's Drop combines soulful jazz components with electronica and strong reggae undertones. They have a great live performance often including theatrics and dramatic lighting effects. They accent their casual style of clothing with sunglasses and sharp jackets giving them a classy appearance.

While performing they often introduce new solos and rifts to songs extended the length by sometimes double and bring a kind of energy to the audience that few artists can match. Audiences can't help but rock out to their smooth beats and catchy rhythms delivered with showman style.

Recently Fat Freddie's Drop filmed a two hour live performance at the Village Underground even streaming the set live around the world. The club has a dark mysterious atmosphere that compliments the band members mysterious presences. The opening song 'Blackbird' has become one of their best hit's and recordings of the performance can still be found online. The band excels at delivering a dramatic performance with the high sound quality to match.

This is one of the few artists that somehow sound more magical when their live. All seven of Fat Freddie's Drop band members toured Europe in 2008 when they first got critical exposure to success bringing them to the forefront of the 'jazz/blues/techno' Jam Band movement and the world got to know them for delivering exceptional live performances.
