Have You Heard: The Saloon Daddies

Alcohol was obviously involved

Answered by: Dave Favours

How did you get together?
The duo consists of Jeff Pope (Dunhill Blues/Deadwood 76) and Dave Favours (The Delivery). Having played together on countless bills over the years, it seemed only logical that we join forces. Alcohol was obviously involved.

Sum up your musical sound in four words?
Country for booze hounds.

If you could support any band in the world – past or present – who would it be?
Steve Earle. Here’s where we shamelessly plug the Steve Earle tribute show that we are playing this Sunday at 2.30pm.

You’re being sent into space, no iPod, you can bring one album, what would it be?
I Feel Alright – Steve Earle. Did we mention that we are playing at a Steve Earle tribute show at the Petersham Bowlo this Sunday or that tickets are $15 at the door?

Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date?
When Spencer P Jones joined us onstage for a Beasts Of Bourbon cover.

Why should people come and see your band?
We are the perfect soundtrack for doing something that you will regret the next morning. Plus we need the money.
