Fat Freddy's Drop - Based On A True Story


These bringers of splendid grooves really lit up the Odeon theatre Hobart when they played here earlier in the year. They have no conventional rhythm section and just rely on someone with a turntable. I was standing there thinking, this is too good to be true. I was hoping they would have an encore. No band has ever impressed me so much that I did not want them to finish and go on longer. They did play for about 2-3 hours and their performance was immense. The trombonist could charge a small village with his efforts emitted. They are just a very soulful and jazz-inspired dub jam collective from Aotearoa. Their music is drawn out over several minutes and they keep the groove motoring on.
