 Fucking yes. Def will not be missing this.

  music

 I just googled a couple of days ago to see if they were coming as well.
When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

Any chance of a price?

I'm very unemployed (oh i mean between jobs) so it had better be cheap.

Just out of curiosity, do you talk like this in real life?

If so, How does anyone understand what you're saying!?

The magnificent Fat Freddy’s Drop return to Australia in
March for a series of heart-stopping shows that could deliver the answer to the question on
fans lips worldwide  - is the album out yet!
 
For the past three years, the New Zealand band has been conquering the globe with a slow
burning boil up of hi-tek soul, jazz and reggae, road testing new songs for the follow up to
their record breaking debut Based On A True Story and fielding album requests from fans in
Europe, UK, USA and Australasia.  In 2009 Freddy is getting ready to pull the catch on the
sophomore album Big BW and shake that ‘shiverman loose’. 
 
Fat Freddy’s Drop was last in Australia around New Year for Days Like This! festival in
Sydney and they played at Pyramid Festival on Philip Island - until stage crew had to
physically remove the musicians mid-set as rain and wind battered the stage.
 
Freddy’s legion on the tour in March features two fresh faces that have melded seamlessly
into the already seven strong jam heavy band – the rhythmic Riki Gooch on drums and the
rock with the baritone voice Rio Hunuki Hemopo on backing vocals and bass. 
 
Rio Hunuki Hemopo will also play opening support for Freddy’s on the Australian tour.  Joined
by guitarist Justin ‘Firefly’ Clarke, his set will include tunes from his debut 12” vinyl release
Wahine Toa that was produced with DJ Fitchie at the Drop in Lyall Bay, Wellington.
 
The Drop studio by the Pacific Ocean is where Freddy’s has been recording Big BW. To date
two tracks have been let out the bag - The Camel (ft Alice Russell) and Pull The Catch. The
release date for the full album is close - the crowds are ravenous. 
 
‘SEX MUSIC... I was seduced by Fat Freddy’s Drop and now I cannot get them out of my
head....Like a well-practiced partner, Fat Freddy left me wholly satisfied but with an appetite
for more.’ Holly Dicker, Pulp, UK

I saw them at Days Like This! in Sydney.

Considering it cost me $110 to see them, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Morcheeba, Flying Lotus, Yo Majesty, Killaqueenz, Katalyst, Mr Scruff, A Guy Called Gerald, Carl Craig, Gilles Peterson and Public Enemy... I would not fork out $50+ to see them on their own.

Fat Freddys rocked it, really deep and rolling all night. The band on before them were cool too but i didn't catch who they actually were.

Was it just me and piers who thought the slide trombone player looked like Quazza? Hahaha...... Hilarious! The gold tennis outfit with the white wife beater on under it was hilarious.
