Originally released on CD in 2001, the recording was made when Freddys was honing its sound and chops in the Wellington underground music scene, and taken from a mini disc feed from the desk. The stage was literally the back garden of Wellington’s den of iniquity The Matterhorn just down the road from Ghuznee HQ. The audience consisted of a random collection of 30 people most of whom from memory were hospitality workers having a drink after work. Legend.
Having started as a few musician mates playing along to instrumental B-side records dropped by DJ MU aka Fitchie, by 2001 Freddys was a solid six piece who liked nothing better than to jam. Freddys distinctive hi-tek soul qualities shine through led by the velvet vocals of singer Joe Dukie aka Dallas Tamaira. It’s Fulla Flash aka Warren Maxwell on saxophone, the fore runner to Chopper Reeds. Trombonist Hopepa aka Joe Lindsay is yet to join the band.

‘Live At The Matterhorn’ went on to sell Platinum in New Zealand and while it pre-dates the bands record breaking ‘Based On A True Story’ studio album it's a touchstone for those wanting to experience Freddys early jams, the source for where Freddys story began.

🎧 Just Another Ghost Note
by SONG AND SALT

A dreamy, psychedelic journey through sound, blending chillwave vibes with a driving, electro-pop pulse. The track builds on layers of ethereal synths, warm, reverberating vocals, and a subtly complex groove, creating an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and forward-looking.

Perfect for late-night drives, introspective moments, or when you need a vibrant yet calming soundtrack. It's the sound of a neon-lit ocean sunset, where digital waves meet a salty breeze.

A ghost note is there, even when you don't hear it.

Album Art: Inspired by the tension between the organic (salt, sea, sun) and the digital (binary code, neon lights, ghost notes).

Just Another Ghost Note

Work hard, love life and each other. Be humble 

Oh when my work here is done lord 
there will be nothing more to prove to none 
I will not leave any cries behind
and everything is to be settled and done

You know our hearts will beat as one my love
the time has nothing more to sing to us
when i slowly drive away to meet my father
with my head held proud 

Oh I’m not leaving in a suit
there’s no chance I’m leaving my boots behind
when i drive in to the sunset
all my horses will be fed

You know our hearts will beat as one my love 
the time has nothing more to sing to us
when i slowly drive away to meet my father
with my head held proud

Oh I’m not leaving in a suit
there’s no chance I’m leaving my boots behind
when i drive in to the sunset
all my horses will be fed

Oh I’m not leaving in a suit
there’s no chance I’m leaving my boots behind
when i drive in to the sunset
all my horses will be fed

You die as you live
