Nashville indie garage band Snõõper play The Workman's Cellar, Dublin on 7 September. We asked them the BIG questions . . .
Tickets priced €18.00 inclusive of booking fee are on sale now here.
Snõõper began as a collaboration between local Nashville punk mainstay Connor Cummins and Blair Tramel, an early education teacher with a sideline in animation and art.
Their live shows feature puppets, 8-bit animation, papier-mâché, whistles, and flashing lights.

Snõõper, who count Henry Rollins as their biggest fan, have released three 7" records: 2020’s Music For Spies, the Snõõper EP released in 2021 and last year’s Town Topic EP.
Tell us three things about yourself . . .
We are from Nashville, TN and this is our first time in Ireland! Our bassist works a grocery store called Trader Joes. Contrary to popular belief I (Connor) think the self-titled Thin Lizzy LP might be their best…
