The Spin Drifters really are a bunch of characters.
The “all-star Western swing supergroup” comprises some of the finest players in Australian music – each of whom has their own storied solo career – and performs a hybrid style of country, blues, jazz and more at regular shows at The Basement.
Now, they’ve launched a documentary short film,Meet The Spin Drifters, by director Mieke Buchan and executive producer Andrew Richardson. The film charts the band members’ 30 years of interwoven connections, right through to their popular live shows of today, which are known for attracting hordes of dancers to the floor and beyond.
