Driven by the power of live performance, sheer hard work and savvy independent vinyl releases, Fat Freddy’s Drop has taken the world by storm with their hypnotic dub and future soul grooves.
Their debut studio album 'Based On A True Story' has received five star reviews since its release in May 2005, making history as the first independently distributed album to hit number one on the NZ Album Charts, shipping Gold on its first day of release and reaching platinum status within its first two weeks.



The Thomas Oliver Band
(Debut Australian Headline Shows)
Thursday 31st May – Sydney – The Annandale
Friday 1st June – Melbourne – The Evelyn
Niche Productions is proud to announce the debut tour of one of the most celebrated New Zealand bands of the last few years, The Thomas Oliver Band.
Delivering a robust, gutsy Roots sound, like Rock n Roll injected with Soul, The Thomas Oliver Band (or The TOB as they are affectionately known) have amassed a hoard of fans in their home country thanks to their phenomenal live shows and tremendous debut album ‘Baby I’ll Play.’ Garnering such accolades as Best New Zealand Blues & Roots Album 2011 on iTunes and a debut spot at number twelve on the NZ Music Charts, The TOB also nabbed a gong for Best Blues Video at the 2011 Australian Independent Music Video Awards in 2011 for ‘Goin Home.’ Watch ‘Goin Home’ here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ImIXNyNaCw&feature=related
It’s not just the media and award heavies that love ‘em, too. The TOB were hand picked by Jimmy Barnes to support Cold Chisel across New Zealand and they’ve also shared stages with Joe Cocker, Gin Wigmore and Niche Productions alumni Fat Freddy’s Drop.
With a genuine understanding of how to treat an audience and a real appreciation for music, they’re going to be filling venues for a long time to come. – Groove Guide
