Fat Freddy's Drop
Step out of the rush & let Freddy's mystic soul connection wash over you…
Pacific purveyors of hi-tek soul Fat Freddy's Drop are a seven-piece family of musicians who have grown up together in Wellington, New Zealand. Emerging through a multitude of incarnations from funk jam bands to reggae soundsystems, jazz improvisation to live techno, their eagerly awaited debut studio album is 'Based On A True Story', a fresh slice of future funk complete with surprises, fakes & freaky sidesteps...

hi William
Looking into it now and will email you.
Cheers
Posted by Mr Editor 7.50AM, 3 Sep 2010Hey there guys, about three weeks ago I ordered a couple of t-shirts. The money has been taken from my account but I've had no confirmation email and no sign of my t-shirts yet! Any suggestions?
Posted by William Murray 4.12AM, 3 Sep 2010Hey recieved my copy last week ! Brilliant , just trying to work out of any of tracks are special vinyl only variations of the originals . . .
Posted by Cafe dre 12.19PM, 23 Sep 2009Update for those who have been patiently awaiting the vinyl copy of the BW
We should have the albums in 3 weeks and will be dispatching orders the moment they arrive
Posted by Mr Editor 1.51PM, 12 Aug 2009we are still waiting for the vinyl copies to arrive.
BOATS is no longer avail on wax
Posted by Mr Editor 5.43AM, 11 Aug 2009Hi I ordered Big BW on Lp form here but haven't received it yet? Are any copies left. Also is BOATS available on LP?
Posted by mailmarshall 10.10PM, 10 Aug 2009Oh yeah such sweet smooth sounds thumbs up
Posted by Quint Baker 8.05AM, 15 Jul 2009Can Based on a True Story be purchased on vinyl? What's the link to the page wit hit?
Posted by RickD 4.38PM, 6 Jul 2009Greg we are still waiting for the vinyl to be pressed. It shouldn't be far off now.
Posted by Mr Editor 1.46PM, 30 Jun 2009hello, apologies if im being completely dense here, but i ordered and paid for a vinyl copy of boondigga and the big bw on the day it was released (so a month ago i think) and haven't heard a whisper since then. I do live in the uk, but a month to ship seems like a long time.
whatagwan?
Cheers!
