New Zealand sensation, Fat Freddy's Drop are performing at Tanks Arts centre on Friday July 30th.  Fat Freddy's Drop’s pirate soul train has seen them beat a resolutely independent path to the ears and feet of audiences around the globe for over a decade.

Formed in 1999 the Wellington seven-piece has never stuck to a script. Their sound draws inspiration from almost every part of the black music lexicon. Soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies collide with tape delays and echo chambers, underpinned by a rhythm section as comfortable laying down a throbbing, techy soundscape as they are a swampy blues stomp.

Releasing their debut album Based On A True Story in 2005 and the follow up Dr. Boondigga and the Big BW last year, Fat Freddy’s Drop are well and truly one of New Zealand’s finest exports.

Tickets are available at $57.80 (no conc) from Ticketlink or Ph: 1300 855 835
Doors 6.30pm / Show 7.30pm
