Their second studio album, ''Moving Out Of Eden'', was released in March 2013. The band has toured both nationally and internationally. ==History== The Snowdroppers came together at the end of 2007, playing their first live gig as the music fill for a burlesque show, titled "Good Drugs and Bad Woman". After being received so well at the show, the four musicians decided to pursue a future together and took the name, The Snowdroppers, from the 1920s Sydney slang term for cocaine addicts. The core band members consist of Wishbone, Pauly K, London and Cougar Jones. The band is influenced by blues, roots, rock, rockabilly and punk music. They have been likened to great rock acts such as Midnight Oil, INXS and The Living End. Their debut album, ''Too Late to Pray'', was released in 2009, followed by their second album ''Moving Out Of Eden'' almost four years later. ''"Moving Out of Eden boasts a much heavier focus on classic rock beats, vocals and overall themes, establishing the band’s ability to use this formula perfectly"'' - Lucinda Osborn-Crowley, The Music.com Their early single ''Do The Stomp'' (from debut album, ''Too Late To Pray'') made impact on alternative Australian radio as well as the soundtrack to the hit movie, Red Dog in 2011.
