Someday Baby!

Not just someday but from the day we delivered our 1st gig at the local pub.
Max singing one of his offerings to the repertoire laying down a solid foundation on bass alongside Todd for Robin to wail around a bit on the guitar!
Apart from the expected odd Snafu or two or three it was a most successful first outing. Michelle did a great job getting some footage and although a little grainy and a poor sound it will give you a some idea how the band sounds if you didn't happen to make it to the gig. Enjoy!

Intimacy Blues

Max and I running through this piece I wrote a little while back. Very relaxed and blew the vocals on the stops but good fun to listen to!
Intimacy Blues by Ramsnake

A recent press release

Who are Ramsnake anyway?

Well, I am glad you asked.
Starting from the top of the pic and working back down.

Vocalist and bass player Max Jones who has many, many years of experience playing in blues bands in Perth (Trader Joe, Perth Rag band, Loading Zone) and down here on the South Coast (BopCats, Outsiders).
Max is solid as a rock on bass and has loads of songs tucked away in his memory banks to sing.
(Rumour has it that Max enjoys the occasional holiday on an ocean liner!)


Recently returned former Denmark resident Robin Thomson on vocals, regular/slide guitar and keyboard. Robin has been playing the blues on and off for 40+ years and was a member of seminal 90's Denmark blues band Mojo.
He also plays with The Dave Sims Collective, played guitar in the Rainbow Cast Big Band and was the founding member of the Albany band Floodgates.
You never know what Robin will offer up when he is playing!
(Rumour has it that Robin used to play a bit of classical guitar too!)


Todd Moore is everywhere, as the drummer for The Moondog J Blues Band and The Tracy Morrison Band as well. He was also drummed for Blue Manna and Xavier Brown. Todd drums with machinelike crispness.
(Rumour has it that Todd is secretly a Metal Head!)

1st gig coming up! Yay!

Yep, one more rehearsal and then finally the day of the first gig is nearly here.
I know that I am pumped and ready to go and I am sure Max and Todd are too!
We have got together a terrific repertoire which we intend to keep adding to so as we are always presenting something new for you guys at each gig!
As well as giving tunes to listen to and others designed to get you up off your butts and dancin'!, we are also intending to get you guys to join in and sing along with us too with a couple of fun Little Charlie & the Nightcats songs "Dump that Chump" and "Eyes like a Cat".
I think it is going to be a fun night for all.
Look forward to seeing you there!
