The Snowdroppers present
THE BARRELHOUSE

The Bridge Hotel every Friday night from 23rd Oct to 13th Nov

“Four nights that you’ll want to wear your black underwear instead of your white”

Taking their name from 1920’s slang term for cocaine addicts, only later learning it also meant stealing underwear off of clothes lines, The Snowdroppers delight in delivering something dark, dramatic and thrillingly nostalgic

Over the last months The Snowdroppers have been selling out shows around the country without support from radio or traditional print media, the mere word of mouth excitement their live show produces spreads like wildfire.

After signing with Difrnt Music in August and with their debut album “Too Late To Pray” being released on 30th October, The Snowdroppers wanted to do something special to celebrate rather then just put on a normal gig. The Barrelhouse was born.

The idea was simple. Create a place where their music would be the backbone to a world, a multi-room, inside and out, 1930’s and 1970’s inspired house of blues. Taking over a whole venue and creating a urban juke joint where the smell of sex and sweat is generated to the soundtrack of Nick Cave, Howlin Wolf, Eels, R.L Burnside, The Stooges and Aretha Franklin just to name a few. A place where blues & booze is wild and dangerous again.

Live music every week from The Snowdroppers, and every night supported by two of Australia’s best alternative roots grind rock music including Lani Lane, La Mancha Negra, Nici Blue Eyes, The Barons Of Tang, Steve Smyth, The Brothers Grim, Kirk Special One Man Band, Clairy Brown And The Banging Rackettes

With soul enhancing Dj’s, the best of 1970’s Italian westerns in outdoor cinema, a hell of a lot of booze, the cuban cigar lounge, the barrelhouse cage girls… each night will provide a slightly different experience yet so much more.

This is for four nights only, forget oxford street, the bridge is coming back to life with a injection of old tunes and young flesh.

So get ready to indulge the power-drinking, body-grinding, string-picking, nipple-licking, ghetto-dancing, finger-sniffing deviant blues child in all of us.
