Live At Roundhouse London is the brand new LIVE album from Fat Freddy’s Drop.
As any long-term fan knows, live & direct is the very best way to feel the mercurial magic of Fat Freddy’s Drop. Onstage performance is the life-blood of their music, which evolves into a spontaneous, eclectic & collective experience.
No two shows are ever the same, and once the riffs & rhythms have been road-tested & honed to perfection, they’re ready to ‘drop’ as studio recordings. Live At Roundhouse London is further evidence of that alchemy.
This album documents the second of two luminous nights at London’s Roundhouse in December 2008 – the final gig of a six-week European tour.
The bros have been around the world in 80 days almost a dozen times since they first ventured to Europe in 2003. Their stunning live shows have been the catalyst for their growing audiences & unlike a lot of bands whose shows are more excited than exciting, the Freddys never succumb to the temptation to crank up the tempo or dumb things down for their audience.
From their beginnings in 1999, the Wellington-based group have blended hypnotic live performance with savvy independent vinyl, CD & DVD releases – all served on Island Time.
In doing so, Fat Freddy’s Drop have successfully negotiated safe passage to the ears & feet of audiences worldwide for over a decade.
