Perth indie-swamp tub-thumpers Snowman are relocating to the UK. Which is a travesty in some respects as it means that we'll hardly get to see them. But then they are too good for this milieu. Plus, in that curious Australian fashion, it also means that when they do return they'll be heroes. Because of the way we wait until the international media embraces our backwater convictions and all. Hahahaha. Well now friends, get in before the frontlash. (!) Snowman are going on one last tour before they leave this pond and what's more they're taking supremo Melbourne eastern-punk band Baseball with them.

In our review of their new album The Horse The Rat and The Swan we said "Where on earlier releases there came flashes of originality, The Horse, the Rat and the Swan comes fully formed as the band’s own thing." Please. Go see them while they can be yours too.
