Fireside Chat with Fat Freddy's Drop

by chico urbanus

Fat Freddy's Drop is a band from New Zealand and they make some wicked tunes... They played just last week here in London Town. As always, I only heard positive comments [I didn't go myself - I had seen them twice here before and I'm completely broke at the moment].

Here's an interview with some tracks from their 3 albums. It was done by the Red Bull Music Academy Radio - Red Bull done some of the sickest events all around the world and the RBMA Radio is a never-ending fountain of knowledge. They cover all sorts of music styles and I'll definitely be posting some other stuff of theirs

And I've just found this video with the main man behind the band: Chris "Mu" Faiumu aka DJ Fitchie [also done by the RBMA Radio].
