Sydney blues rock band The Snowdroppers credit the sound of their new album to "mad riffs" and "a few incantations".

Vocalist Jeremy Davidson (better known as Johnny Wishbone by the band) said the newest release _Business _has been a long, sometimes argumentative and sometimes fun-filled, journey to fruition.

"We are now at a point where the band is literally like a family," Davidson said.

"It's not so much like best mates anymore as it is very much like brothers - and brothers fight and disagree but at the end of the day, we ultimately love each other."

Describing South West fans as "loosey goosey" and always up for a good time, The Snowdroppers are excited for a change of pace from the city scene of Sydney.

"Bunbury are always an appreciative crowd, whereas sometimes the city folk can sometimes get jaded and think they are a little bit cool," Davidson said.

"It is a nice town - kind of very mellow and chilled out and up for a really good time, which is what we like."

Depending on the money situation, Davidson hopes the guys have a bit of a break from touring in the Christmas and New Year season before hitting the road to see fans in Queensland and the NT.

As for tomorrow night's show at the Prince of Wales Hotel, Davidson promised "rock music streaming straight from our hearts".
