Fat Freddy's Drop The Road to Opononi Summer Tour
Fat Freddy’s Drop spent 2010 taking the sound of the New Zealand summer to the festival stages of Europe, California and Hawaii as part of the Live at Roundhouse World Tour. Now they have returned home to bring the party vibe to our New Zealand summer beaches. Packing trombones, analogue synths, waterskis, tennis rackets and fishing rods, Fat Freddy’s Drop will play nine shows stretching from Lower Hutt to Opononi in the Hokianga for a sparkling finale to the run of epic globetrotting.
“Make no bones about it Fat Freddy’s Drop loves reggae almost as much as they love BBQs! What’s more we love techno, afro – ska, country soul and any other genre you care to mention. We’ll mash styles much the same as Hopepa mixes stripes and plaid. Or speedos with swandris,” trumpet maestro Tony Chang said.
Fat Freddy's Drop The Road To Opononi Summer Tour is presented by The Drop in association with ZM, Yahoo!Xtra, The Groove Guide & Eccles.
