The Droptails and Sunshine Tip
About
Arguably the only positive from Melbourne being locked down for much of 2020 and 2021 was the enormous amount of creative output it inspired. And among all this output was a bunch of songs that eventually became a wonderful debut album from The Droptails.You can argue about the wisdom of calling an album ‘Coronavirus the Musical,’ but they are cracking songs, with great tunes and poignant, sometimes biting, and always memorable, lyrics.
When it came to playing the album live, old friends were recruited from Melbourne’s legendary 1980s indie music scene, including members of the Huxton Creepers, Cracked Jaffas, and Penthouse Paupers.
And now there is a second album, ‘Through Road,’ released in February 2026. Again, the sound is an eclectic mix of indie rock, twang and power pop, and the lyrics move from the personal, through your neighbourhood to the globally political and back again.
The Droptails are performing some select dates across Melbourne over the coming months and are coming to the Merri Creek Tavern with Sunshine Tip on Sunday June 7th.
Standing room only. Seating provided for people with a disability.
