In January Grinspoon played some incredible career defining performances on the Big Day Out Festival Tour and after many recent sold out headline gigs, Grinspoon show no signs of wear and tear. In fact the band is now match fit . Currently playing the shows of their lives these guys are true Australian indie rock champions !

Grinspoon and booking agency New World Artists have announced special guests The Snowdroppers to join the 2013 Black Rabbits Tour as main support in Jindabyne along with The Hated.

"Festival regulars, Grinspoon always deliver a high energy, singles heavy set aimed at turning their time onstage into one big party. ..'No Reason' had the crowd screaming back the lyrics and at one stage an old school circle pit even opened up at the front. This is rock n' roll plain and simple - with no frills." Take 40 review BDO 2013

The Lismore-born quartet - frontman Phil Jamieson, guitarist Pat Davern, drummer Kristian Hopes and bassist Joe Hansen - burst onto the national music scene in 1995 via a string of hits which later appeared on their 1997 debut album, Guide To Better Living. Across their career the band have amassed album sales of 500,000 copies in Australia, including multiple platinum certifications and the ARIA Award for 'Best Rock Album' in 2005 for Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills.

Playing all the hits, back catalogue career gems plus recent singles Passerby and Branded these shows will be the longest sets the band have ever played, with a mix of everyone's favourites and a healthy selection of new tunes from the Black Rabbits album.

The Snowdroppers

The origins of The Snowdroppers are steeped in the seedy burlesque underworld of Sydney. Early single "Do The Stomp" made impact on alternative radio as well as the soundtrack to the hit movie, RED DOG. The billowing blues harp and rockabilly slap of the TOO LATE TO PRAY album upped the band's profile as hard players from the Annandale Hotel and the Big Day Out to a whistle-stop US tour from Austin to LA to New York.

Between black humour and fiery passions, MOVING OUT OF EDEN is among the most distinctive and cohesive rock records you'll hear this year, but the Snowdroppers are under no illusion about the task at hand especially playing middle spot to the mighty Grinners -so be sure to catch them at the Station, Corner or The Enmore Theatre.
