Fat Freddy's Drop in the UK
« on: April 01, 2008, 08:06:06 PM »
These guys are a NZ based Dub/Reggae band- became one of my favorites while I was living there.  If you've got some free time I highly recommend them-
 
They'll be playing a few dates in the UK starting in April.  Dates/venues can be found on their website:

EDIT: and a few YouTube sample videos for those not familiar

Watching this one.  Nice; thanks!
 
While watching, I realized there's no drummer; they're playing to a recorded percussion track.  There also doesn't appear to be a bass player; the bass lines are either played on keyboard or are sampled as well.

They need to extend their tour to incorporate the other 3 countries in the UK. I wouldn't mind seeing them but they're not coming very far north ;-(

Graeme,
 
I hadn't even bothered to check the actual venues and dates (seeing as how there is a large body of water between us).
 
It's too bad they won't be getting farther North- if you do happen to find yourself nearby have a gander- they're quite good live.
