About Me

If you're going to be derivitive, you might as well be creative. If Lewis Carroll had been a stoner and listened to gypsy-metal music, Pramsnatcher is the band he would have started.
Pramsnatcher are the band Fleetwood Mac would have been if they were a three-piece with majors in zoology and drank too much coffee.
Pramsnatcher are the inevitable product of the regional Victorian wasteland; restless world-music obsessed musicians with short attention spans.
Pramsnatcher are a progressive pop band whose song-writing creativity is only matched by their frantic live performances. Pramsnatcher have played shows in Melbourne, Ballarat and Geelong and can entertain any crowd, from charity marathon participants to drunk bogans.
Pramsnatcher, The Tote, 29th April 2007 - "'The Pramsnatchers' are always in form these days. Murray, you're a farkin boy wonder. But they played the same old tired hits, perhaps with a little more finger movement on that d major open chord, and singing in an accent so twangy and Australian that it makes Missy Higgins sound like Wesley Willis. Although, you probably could't titfark Missy Higgins, could you? Uh anyway Pramsnatcher are Pramsnatcher, and I have an intense and secret rock move rivalry going with Rohan. Mate, if you're reading this BRING IT!!!!!!!! They kick ass and if you don't know anymore about it then you're a tool. Their sound guy even let me sing dodgy harmonies through the foldbacks while they played. Everyone is so nice." - Elvis Christ, Liquor Open
