Biography
Snowman were an Australian indie rock band formed in Perth, Western Australia, in 2002. After winning The Next Big Thing competition in 2003, they released their debut EP, Zombies on the Airwaves of Paris, in 2004 and toured nationally with acts including Interpol, Regurgitator, Wolfmother, and The Mint Chicks. Their self-titled debut album followed in 2006 on Dot Dash Records, earning critical praise and several WAMi Awards. The band released The Horse, The Rat and The Swan in 2008, which topped Mess and Noise’s end-of-year critics’ poll. Snowman relocated to London later that year and subsequently recorded Absence. Released in June 2011, the album was their final release, after which the band announced their breakup.
