Live at Roundhouse - CD

2010 live album from the New Zealand World/Dub outfit. As any long-term fan knows, live and direct is the very best way to feel the mercurial magic of Fat Freddy's Drop. This album documents the second of two luminous nights at London's Roundhouse in December 2008 - the final gig of a six-week European tour. Unlike a lot of bands whose shows are more excited than exciting, the Freddy's never succumb to the temptation to crank up the tempo or dumb things down for their audience. From their beginnings in 1999, the Wellington-based group have blended hypnotic live performance with savvy independent releases - all served on Island Time. In doing so, Fat Freddy's Drop have successfully negotiated safe passage to the ears and feet of audiences around the globe for over a decade. Kartel.
