Have You Heard: Southbound Snake Charmers

Answered by: Chris Denman

When did you start making music and why? Southbound Snake Charmers have been making music together for four years or so. We all share a love of that dirty groovin' blues and rockin' out, whether it's on stage or out with the crowd.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Psychedelic, groovin' dirty blues.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Rory Gallagher's BBC Sessions. As one of the most underrated artists in the scene this album captures his guitar and songwriting proficiency as well as the live set he was renowned for. 

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Getting stopped by police while performing on the street as part of the St Kilda Festival. The show must go on! 

Why should people come and see your band? You'll be charmed with an entertaining stage presence set to a hypnotic heavy groove of psychedelia, swamp and voodoo blues.

When and where for your next gig? 9, 16, 23 & 30 Oct, The Brunswick Hotel
