New Zealand's seven member band, Fat Freddy's Drop, will be coming to the Sydney Opera House to present their animated and illustrated Blackbird album preview. Critically acclaimed, the 'seven- headed soul monster' will take the stage with New Zealand graffiti artist, Otis Frizzell, who will be creating artwork during the performance.
In 2005 Fat Freddy's Drop released their debut album, Based On A True Story, which went gold on release and became the first independently distributed album to hit number one on the New Zealand Album Charts. Reaching nine-times platinum, the album holds the record for the highest-selling album by a New Zealand artist in the country’s history.
Renowned world-wide for their brilliant live performances and funky mix of dub, reggae, soul, jazz, rhythm and blues, and techno, the band has sold out tours in the UK, Europe and Australia. The show is bound to impress with two preview performances of the band's yet-to-be-released new fourth album, Blackbird, and the work of New Zealand's highest profile graffiti artist.
The show is part of the Sydney Opera House third annual Graphic Festival on Saturday, November 10.
