Snowdropping at Ding Dong
Checked out Brother's Grimm & Snowdroppers at Ding Dong Saturday night.
Brother's Grimm were a blues band with heaps more character than your run of the mill cover band that you hear at your local RSL. It was a delta kind of blues -all originals with rhythmic slide guitar, gravelly vocals, and George Kamikawa (the Japanese cowboy that you see on Burke st) wailing away on harmonica. They even brought their own props (metal can to for the guitarist to sit on and old school stool for the singer). Definitely recommend these guys.
Snowdroppers didn't impress me as much. Great name though (check the urban dictionary because this is a family blog). The lead singer, who looked like he had stepped off the set from Oh Brother Where Art Thou 2 had charisma but his antics got a bit annoying after a few songs. They were pretty rockabilly with not a lot of subtlety. The lead singer got a banjo out for a few songs, which could have added a bit of variety but pounded it so hard that his fingers bled (literally).
