Product description

Fat Freddy's Drop's debut live album, Live at the Matterhorn, is a captivating recording that showcases the band's unique blend of NZ reggae and dub sounds. Released in 2001, this album was captured during a raw midnight jam session at the infamous Matterhorn restaurant in Wellington, New Zealand. The four-track album, featuring 'Runnin', 'Rain', 'No Parking', and 'Bounce', may seem brief in terms of song count, but it boasts an impressive 70-minute playtime, immersing listeners in the band's infectious energy.

Recorded on 11th March 2001, Live at the Matterhorn is a testament to Fat Freddy's Drop's early days, honing their sound in the Wellington underground music scene. The album's cover features a photo of The Bucket Fountain, a landmark near the Matterhorn, adding a touch of local flair to the release. With Fulla Flash, aka Warren Maxwell, on sax duties, the band delivers a truly unforgettable performance. This live album is a must-listen for fans of Fat Freddy's Drop, offering a glimpse into the band's formative years and their signature sound, which has captivated audiences worldwide.

This is a 2017 Limited Edition released as a 2LP set.

Finest Live Jam Session
5 out of 5 stars
tedosesSeptember 12, 2024United States🇺🇸
In my opinion, this is their finest album, captured live in Wellington, New Zealand. It's basically a jam session where each track flows into the next. Kicking off with "Runnin," it's deep like the ocean but with that unmistakable FFD rhythm. Following that is "Rain," and we're taken up a notch, still deep and grooving. By the time we reach "No Parking," it's a stellar track—the band has spent 40 minutes building up to this moment. The set wraps up with "Bounce," the shortest track but still over 10 minutes long. I've played this album on repeat and never get tired of it. Perfect for late-night listening. A must-have on vinyl.
