Fat Freddy's Drop

with DJ Vadim & Yarah Bravo, Sunshine Brothers and Ladi 6 (NZ)

Ring in the new year with a quality line up of soul-soothing beats from the leaders of blues infused dub, New Zealand’s Fat Freddy’ Drop.

Fresh from releasing their anticipated sophomore album ‘Big BW’ the powerhouse eight piece bring their live show back to Australia for the first time since November 07 to present the new material and play their most loved tunes like ‘Hope’, ‘Cay’s Cray’s’, ‘Roady’ and ‘Wandering Eye.’

No stranger to Australia, DJ Vadim has toured the country several times as either club DJ, exceptional turntablist, member of One Self or a combination of the three!

His most recent album ‘The Sound Catcher’ (BBE) was a slight departure from his unique sparse brand of hip-hop, offering colourful reggae tones and as always a host of brilliant collaborators. He is joined on stage by One Self MC and poet Yarah Bravo.

WA’s favourite dub/reggae band - Sunshine Brothers - who released their second album "GREENPOINT" (recorded at Daptone Studios Brooklyn) to great acclaim earlier this year add the local flavour to this world class bill and to more sounds that are almost custom made for a New Years Day vibe.

Rounding off the bill is fellow Kiwi Ladi , joining the cast off the back of a stellar 2008, herself. After collaborations with Swedish beat-don Freddie Cruger and a rip-roaring single in ‘Go Get It’ with Sepalot for Compost, Ladi 6 is just about ready to unleash her debut solo effort. Coming strong with a wealth of vocal talent, be it singing or rapping, Ladi 6 is the bright future of nu soul in the southern hemisphere, that is already turning heads worldwide.

Do not miss this incredible start to the new year!!!

Begin your 2009 the right way!
