We are exactly a month out from the much anticipated release of the brand new Fat Freddy’s Drop record, Bays, and we are super excited. Well known as being a ludicrously fun party band, the new album sees the band traversing a plethora of vibrant musical landscapes, from slow burning funk to jazz-infused techno and hazy reggae. Before the album drops however, we thought we’d get their two cents on some Aussie and Kiwi bands that are ticking the boxes for them.
Chopper from Fat Freddy’s Drop has got pretty awesome taste when it comes to dance-worthy tunes. Here are 10 Aussie and Kiwi bands that he is digging at the moment. Which country comes out on top?
Bottom Line – Electric Wire Hustle (NZ)
Sundae – Baynk (NZ)
Bermuda – Harvey Sutherland (AUS)
What They Say – Andras Fox (AUS)
Burning Sugar – Silicon (NZ)
Shaolin Monk M**thaf*ker – Hiatus Kaiyote (AUS)
Hedre – Groeni (NZ)
Kingfish (Rodi Kirk Remix) – Aron Ottignon (NZ)
