Wairunga

Brand new sealed double live album from Fat Freddy's Drop.

Last year, Fat Freddy’s Drop released an album, Lock-In, recorded live at the Michael Fowler Centre with no audience present.

Their next, Wairunga, due for digital release on August 20, is another audience-free live album, this one recorded in the bush at Wairunga in Hawke’s Bay.

The seven-piece taped the five new tracks and two re-recorded classics – Bones and Wairunga Blues –in a single session, and said the “wild weather elements” played an important role in the creative process.

Fat Freddy's Drop have announced a new album coming on August 20, to be followed by a six-date tour.
