New Zealand's Best

Easily one of the most talented jam bands on the PLANET. That's a huge statement considering Fat Freddy's Drop tours mainly around the Kiwi nation. This seven piece band has been lighting it up since the early 2000's. The bands first studio album, Based on a True Story went a record 9x platinum. Now on their third album, Blackbird, Fat Freddy's Drop has shown why they are Wellington's most popular band. There's no pinpointing what genre this band fits into.  Led by frontman Joe Dukies, who sings with soulful rhythm and bluesy undertones. DJ Fitchie puts it down with hypnotic dub and techno beats. The rest of the group is on point from horns to bass, the product of a decade of playing together. Blackbird is certainly an instant classic.
