The term SNOWDROPPER has dual meanings; it’s a 1920’s slang term for cocaine addicts, but also a turn of phrase referring to deeply disturbed individuals who have a penchant for stealing woman’s panties off clotheslines. As a band The Snowdroppers have a foot in both camps, but they also delight in delivering boozed up, toe tapping, foot stomping blues rock, all contained in a thrillingly homage to nostalgic times.
These four clean-limbed honkeys, Johnny Wishbone (Vocals, Banjo & Harmonica), Paul K (Guitar), London (Bass) and Cougar Jones (Drums) are in reality dirty boys eager to mix things up a little. Fusing their love of the old time blues and country masters with their more contemporary influences, The Snowdroppers are hell-bent on promoting promiscuity and will deliver that message courtesy of their ribald songs of fornication and intoxication.
The Snowdroppers’ one true calling in life is to introduce and convert heathen non-believers (especially the young, the old, the fragile and interned) into a new generation of obsessed blues drenched rock ‘n’ roll acolytes…
Their debut album, Too Late To Pray is 12 tracks that are an all out assault on the mundane, expanding musical styles from the humblest of blues to rockabilly, punk, gospel, country as well as the unmistakable sound of percussive 70’s porn movie instrumentals.
The Snowdroppers continue to play to packed houses around the country, having just returned from their extensive ‘Do The Stomp’ tour, Byron Bay Bluesfest, and supporting both Seasick Steve and the Avett Brothers on their recent trips to Australia. No rest for the wicked though – they’re heading out now to support Grinspoon on a 20-something date regional tour, followed by a quick jaunt to New Zealand in October.
So get ready to indulge the power-drinking, body-grinding, string-picking, nipple-licking, blues-lover in everyone at a Snowdroppers show near you!
