Fat Freddy's Drop Bio
From the underground to the higher-ground, Fat Freddy's Drop do it
for the love of music, and food!
Driven by the power of live performance, sheer hard work and savvy
independent vinyl releases, Freddy's debut studio album Based On A
True Story has wrecked local chart records and garnered Five Star
reviews since its release in May 2005.
Shipping Gold on the first day the album dropped, Based On A True
Story made history as the first independently distributed album to
hit Number One on the NZ Album Charts. Within two weeks, the long
player album reached Platinum. . . .
The Pacific purveyors of hi-tek soul are first and foremost a live
band. Awarded Best Live Act at the b-Net NZ Music Awards in 2004, the
seven-piece family of musicians emerged through a multitude of
incarnations, from funk jam bands to reggae soundsystems, jazz
improvisation and live techno, to become one of the country's most
loved and respected groups.
Their hypnotic hi-tek soul groove fuses skanking urban Pacific roots,
soul, dub and electronica. No two Freddy's gigs are the same as the
midnight marauders improvise and jam each song into mystic supernovas
of future funk, fakes and freaky sidesteps.
They've toured nationwide, to Australia and completed critically
acclaimed tours of the UK and Europe in 2003 and 2004, building on
international partnerships with London's Kartel Records and Berlin's
Sonar Kollektiv. The band's original CD Live at the Matterhorn, went
Gold with over 11,000 copies sold purely through word of mouth.
Fitchie AKA Mu is the Freddy's band-leader, awarded Best Producer and
Most Outstanding Musician at the b-Net NZ Music Awards 2005, and Best
Producer at the b-Net's in 2003. His MPC 2000 sampler is the core of
the Freddy's sound, as he mashes up bouncing beats and bottom heavy
bass lines for each Freddy's tune.
Joe Dukie AKA Dallas Tamaira, is the Freddy's lyricist and singing
sensation, awarded Best Vocalist at the b-Net NZ Music Awards 2005.
His stage name/alter ego is drawn from his father Joe, also a singer,
and his grandfather, a musician nicknamed Dukie after Duke Ellington.
Heavily influenced by Bill Withers, Joe Dukie's lyrics and sweet
vocals are resonant and uplifting.
The bootae shaking three-piece horn section bring the jazz and jive
flavor to Fat Freddy's Drop. Meeting at Wellington's acclaimed Jazz
School in the mid nineties they have been at the core of a new
musical movement in New Zealand via popular NZ bands such as The
Blacks Seeds, Trinity Roots and of course Fat Freddy's Drop.
The intricate licks of Fulla Flash AKA Warryn Maxwell's tenor and
alto sax intertwined with stabs from Tony Chang AKA Toby Laing's
trumpet come together with the wall of sound of Ho Pepa AKA Joe
Lindsay's apocalyptic trombone.
Jetlag Johnson aka Tehimana Kerr holds down the roots and mind
bending riffs for Freddy's with his old school reggae guitar skank
while Dobie Blaze AKA Iain Gordon is a keyboard collector who serves
up funkadelic analogue keys juxtaposed with baby grand piano and
Casio. Meals are a sacred pastime for Freddy's, and Dobie Blaze
doubles as the family chef. His culinary feasts keep the family from
going hungry. Skinny bunch of punks they're certainly not! As Fitchie
says 'the band that eats together stays together!'
Freddy's HQ is affectionately referred to as 'the beach', home to Mu
and Nicole, who drive the band's NZ label The Drop. Literally 6 feet
from the beach, The Drop studio is situated in the basement of their
home, a 19th Century Bath House on Lyall Bay and one of the oldest
buildings in Wellington; New Zealand's capital city.
Life at The Drop exists on 'Island Time' as the bros work at their
own tempo, under few pressures from the outside world. The result,
Based On A True Story, is an album unlike anything else you've heard.
The album was recorded, engineered and mixed by Fitchie at the beach
over 18 months with breaks for live gigs around the nation and summer
tours to the UK and Europe. The production process was organic, with
the ten tunes evolving almost entirely live on stage and the
arrangements were then fine tuned by the seven players in the studio.
Fitchie escorted the final mix to San Francisco to master with George
Horn at Fantasy Studio.
One of the first singles from the album, the Flashback, 12" vinyl
debuted at #1 on the New Zealand alt charts in early 2005. The tune
spent weeks in the b-Net Top 10 charts as well as sitting on Kiwi
FM's 'A' rotate for more than a month.
The 12" b-side featured a stripped back version of Midnight Marauders
recorded live by the Freddy's at the BBC Maida Vale studios in 2004.
The session that also featured Hope and Willow Tree was nominated
Best Session on Gilles Petersons 2004 Worldwide Awards.
Fat Freddy's Drop first grabbed attention on the international dance
circuit in 2002 when Midnight Marauders, released under the guise of
Joe Dukie and Fitchie by Sonar Kollektiv's imprint Best Seven, was
canned on decks and floors from London to Berlin.
In 2003 Freddy's dropped their official band debut on wax with a 10"
release with London's Kartel, featuring Hope a song that Dukie
scribed to inspire positivity, spirituality and creativity' and
b-side dub trip Bluey.
Midnight Marauders and HOPE both scaled to the number one spot on
Gilles Peterson's top twenty World Wide picks in 2002 and 2003
respectively.
Dukie's cartoon sketches bring the alter egos to life and link them
closer to the bands namesake, Fat Freddy's Cat, a character from US
cult comic strip The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.
