Title: Fat Freddy's Drop
Post by: JMickle on November 09, 2008, 01:33:17 am

So I found this CD in my bro's old room, after he moved out, and I listened to it and it was the BEST thing I had heard in a LOOONG time.

It's Fat Freddy's Drop - Based on a True Story

If you EVER get a chance to listen to this band. TAKE IT. There kinda Dub/Reggae/Soul/and a whole bunch of other good shit.

Also, if anyone HAS heard of them, and JUST SO HAPPENS to have any of their music on VYNIL, I would do anything for it. Really.

Most people who live in New Zealand, and the NZ people on this forum like myself, Afura and others will know about Fat Freddy's Drop. They have some good songs.

Fat Freddy's Drop are great, I think I saw them live once when I was really drunk.

How many albums do they have? Which is the best to pick up?

My bro saw them over here, and said they were awesome. I looked up some of their live shows in youtube and they do look great.
