For the first time in history, Fat Freddy´s Drop will visit Norway! The great Jam-band from New Zealnd will round up the festival with their spectacular live show consisting of funk, soul, reggae and dub that will make the Veko Crowd go mad. After their debut album ”Based On A True Story” was released in 2005, the band has been touring many of the biggest festivals in Europe. They were supposed to play at the Øyafestival in 2008, but the concert was cancelled. It is finally great to present the magnificent dub-and reggae inspired kiwi band to the Norwegian fans!
It all started as a small project between a group of musicians from Wellington, New Zealand, which soon became a global phenomenon. It is almost impossible to put the band in one contemporary genre, which means they have a unique crossover- appeal that DJs, clubbers, funk – and reggae fans love. The well-known British DJ, Gilles Peterson, is a great fan and joined the band, which brought the band to a higher level after the debut album was released. In 2010, Fat Freddy’s released ”Dr. Boondigga & The Big BW”, and once again the crowd worldwide went off. After only four days, the album sold to Platinum and received a lot of standing awards.
Ekstremsportveko has tried to get Fat Freddy´s Drop for over three years and it is with great honour and joy to present the band to this years Ekstremsportveko 2011!!!
