Great entries from everyone...seems to be a bit of housework going on with FFD in the background. The winners for this one are blissfulweds, Vicki Palmer and Matthew Watson...congratulations.

Wow - just been put onto this site, it's great - Hope to be going to more concerts in 2010. I saw Fat Freddy's Drop at the power station not to long ago and what a night! What a crowd! What a sound! Sadly my girlfriend was sick and couldn't go and kicks herself for missing out. Must see if public tickets still going just a few days now, would love to go with my lady as I know what they do to her!, I'll bribe her boss too get her time off work, as this is a concert not to miss! - Go the kiwi sounds Stay in NZ for 2010 PLEASE. Cheers all Matt.

Just so happens im listening to FFD right now!! They are just totally awesome, good music to listen to all year round especially those late nights (ie. the all nighters) that are commonly pulled during university! Im stuck in "this room" all night long having "flashback"s of all the good times listening to FFD. This is all "Based on a true story" so i would "bounce" for joy if i could finally see FFD live!! Pure NZ music..

for me, fat freddy's = saving fish (i like that they like fish) and for allowing me to show off to all my friends in Amsterdam when they played a storming Paradiso gig. Half my mates went off and bought the album afterward. Buoyed up by the FFD wave, I was able to surf through another month of freezing temperatures before I returned to Aotearoa...

Fat Freddy's is NZ. They reminded me of the beauty and love of Aotearoa while I was overseas. Pure NZ summer sounds :)

I was actually introduced to FFD in Cairns AU three years ago. I moved from the US and fell in love with them listening to them over the PA while attending an Ash Grunwald concert. I've been hooked ever since and LOVE cleaning house and jamming out to them while wearin nuthin but my undies!

Would love to see them live to see how their creativity and passion for the music they play spark in front of a life audience. Love how the music is just so organic - they just love to play and it shows in the energy in their music, I love to lie on the couch and listen to them play, to concentrate on the music.

Fat Freddy,,,they are just brilliant....perfect for every occasion! They keep me mellow in heavy traffic, they rinse away my week as I wind down on a Friday evening...and are universally popular. WHen visiting my sister overseas, I introduced her to them and she LOVED them...fortunately her local sound shop had ONE last copy , so I could treat her to it. We catch up and often are both listening to our copies of that Fat Freddy disc...Fat Freddy relaxes, delights and bonds people of all ages!

I put on my nattiest outfit, put myself in an irie mood, drop some Fatt Freddy's and shake my stuff whilst doing the housework! Makes toilet cleaning a dream, washes those sheets with ease and shines the sink in a tink! Boom boom!!

Tickets are selling fast to this event. Don't miss out on a wicked outdoor show in the heart of Auckland city.

FFD is one of the few NZ groups that my husband and I are equally fond of. Typically he is a ruga/R&B fan while I lean more toward the Runga sisters. Have yet to witnesss Fat Freddy's Drop live, and would love to as I hear they are as good on stage as in the studio.

On stage, Freddy’s fuse skanking urban Pacific roots, soul, dub, jazz and electronica into hypnotic and thunderous grooves. No two Freddy’s gigs are the same!!
These seven soul monsters are just an awesome live band, dropping the Freddy's voodoo to all ages and nationalities across NZ and around the world!!!

The music of Fat Freddys is just easy, laid back and cheery and I listen to it anytime. Their music is loved by all age groups and it's a pleasure to see my young teenage nephews moving to the beat. It just gives you a happy feeling!

Such a funky band to see live. It's impossible to keep the ol hips still with all that jammin' happening! Absolutely awesome. Best live gig I've seen in ages :o)

Fat Freddz always gets my 2-step going with good vibes and thoughts of cruisy summer days.. from the smooth sounds of Joe Dukie to the fat beats of the bass dropping.. their music certainly spreads the love & appreciation of fine Aotearoa music..

We had Fat Freddy's playing on our New Years Holiday loud around the camp site and had lots of people come and join in our fabulous in tune singing. Also good to have our afternoon relaxing drinks in the sun after a hard day out swimming!

just got back from a week's camping way up North at Tokerau Beach and Fat Freddy's was on high-rotate along with the cold beer and sunscreen. Would love to get to see them live this summer!

Loved these guys for sometime now, my whole flat rages to these guys every weekend, we all just love the upbeat music to get us all in the mood for either hitting the town or local or just to have a house party with heaps of mates

Love Fat Freddys Drop. You got to go and see them if you get the chance.Wish I was still a student so I could get cheap tickets.

I luuurrvvvvve this group so much due to the fact that I am a very busy working mum that really does not spend enough time just 'chillin'. When FFD plays, I know its time to just take a break & have some chill out time ... So, come Friday night, my hubby & I like to feed the kids fish'n'chips, crank up the stereo with FFD & take a seat outside on the deck (where we have a couple of stereo speakers) & have a glass of wine (beer in the hubbys case) & JUST CHILL - complete BLISS!! We so must attend the concert!!!!
