Music Mountain Matakana in association with The Drop is pleased to announce a second show for A Bush Party at Matakana this February.

With barely one hundred tickets remaining for the original show date organizers got the nod to add a Sunday picnic session to the mix at the boutique venue located in pristine native bush north of Auckland.

We are happy to be able to offer two pairs of tickets for a competition. Just give us the name of the artist from whose comic strip the band name partially originates and the last name of the original Fat Freddy from that comic strip and put your answers in the Comments section below.

Gates for the Sunday picnic session will open at the earlier time of 1.30pm. Both shows feature support from FLOWZ & The Usos and DJ’s Mu, Slave, Cian and Thief (Australia) plus Vee on a visit home from London where he runs Elephant Records.

Between recording their new album, Freddy's only summer gig to date has been counting down the clock for The Big Drop Off at Shed 1, Wellington. Expect to hear fresh tunes from the band that has just confirmed two Paris gigs for April with more to follow in London and Lisbon.

Sunday 24th Feb gates open at 1.30pm, show closes at 9.30pm.

Hey!
I looked on Fat Fred's site and they are named after Fat Freddy Freekowtski's cat. Wikipedia lists two last names for the cat, 'SCAT' and 'SKITTY' neither of which were listed as answers by your prize winners.. or anyone else for that matter.
I've copied this text from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Freddy
"Fat Freddy's Cat, who appears mainly in his own, separate strip at the bottom of the one-page Freak Brothers strips, also has several multi-page stories devoted to him. Many of his strips parallel a storyline in the corresponding Freak Brothers story, and often have themes of a scatological nature. The Cat is sometimes known as "Fat Freddy Scat" and has used the alias "F. Frederic Skitty". His "nephews" refer to him as "Uncle F." He often finds himself confronting an army of cockroaches and a huge tribe of mice who share the apartment with the Freak Brothers. A sort of hippie "Garfield", he is far smarter than his owner (whom he frequently refers to as "the obese one") and regards the Freak Brothers with amused contempt."
I feel you may have made an error here, despite the fact that I pointed it out in my (ignored) comment on the competition page. Being as no one else had the correct answer, I should be enjoying those tickets to Matakana.

The name of the artist from whose comic strip the band name partially orginiates is: Gilbert Shelton.
Fat freddy's cat is owned by Fat Freddy Freekowtski who therefore IS the original fat Freddy.....This is confusing......
From the fatties (fat freddy's website) themselves: (FYI)
A unique ingredient in the Freddy’s boil up has to be Joe Dukie’s hand-drawn cartoon sketches that bring the Freddy’s alter egos to life and gives a unique presence to the Freddy’s website.
The comic flavor links the band closer to their namesake, Fat Freddy’s Cat, a character from US cult comic strip The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.

Hang on a minute... as I must eat my last words. Upon further research I have discovered that the band is not actually named after Fat Freddy Freekowtski. It is named after Fat Freddy's cat. According to Wikipedia,
"The Cat is sometimes known as "Fat Freddy Scat" and has used the alias "F. Frederic Skitty"
As nobody has got this right yet, can I please have the tickets?
