I know that Bitter FM listeners would know 'Fat Freddy's Drop' well enough, but let's face it, you can't have a NZ based music blog and not include these guys at some stage. "Ernie" is the opening track from their hugely successful debut album 'Based On a True Story' and it starts off with a long piano intro before the horn section joins in and then the cool laid back dub/reggae takes over. By the time Joe Dukie even sings a note you will already by high on this Fat Freddy's drug. Nothing happens quickly here but your patience will be rewarded greatly. This album didn't go 7 times platinum in New Zealand for nothing.... and it wasn't hype, it was all word of mouth.
