The Longdrops
About The Longdrops from Auckland
The Longdrops are the next best unclassifiable band to come out of Auckland's eccentric musical underground. Sam Benge, Tavish Fraser and Louise Evans present a perplexing and thoroughly entertaining blend of folksy blues, bluesy folk, and singin' tales like none before. Who else (in Auckland, at least) can claim to craft melodies poached from the Sound of Music, Count Bassie, Primus, the Wild West, Transylvania, Bruce Springsteen and the hills of Ye Ole Appalachia...all with shifty lyrics, and breakdowns on banjo, ukulele, fiddle, guitar and bass
