Fat Freddy’s Drop have announced their only UK show of the summer, a headline date at the Brixton Academy in London on the 18th June. As the band prepare for the long road from Wellington, New Zealand to South London’s Brixton Academy they will be offering a host of exclusive goodies, kicking off with a free download of The Electric’s (DJ Vadim) remix of Flashback.

As anyone who has been to more than one can testify, no two FFD’s shows are the same; long extended jams, soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies, underpinned by a rhythm section as comfortable laying down a throbbing techy soundscape as they are swampy blues stomp. Their live show was captured in last years Live From The Roundhouse CD, recorded on the second sold out night at London’s Roundhouse in 2008. The gig came at the end of a 6 week European tour just ahead of the release of their much acclaimed Platinum (NZ) selling sophomore album ‘Dr Boondigga & The Big BW’.

Fiercely independent from the start, Fat Freddy’s Drop have always done things on their own terms and once again are on the road to Brixton Academy, a venue they sold out back in 2005 shortly after the independent release of their now classic album ‘Based On A True Story’.
