Snowman’s Meltdown
Thursday, Jun 5 2008|by Darren Levin
Does a band that live together stay together? In the case of Perth’s Snowman the totality of their songwriting process nearly tore them apart. DARREN LEVIN speaks to singer Joe McKee about the challenges of making Snowman’s second album, 'The Horse, The Rat and The Swan'. I’ve caught Snowman’s Joe McKee at a vulnerable time.

Joe McKee, Snowman’s vocalist, has his eyes closed and he’s bent a little, spooky-crooning into the mic about the city’s animals coming out at night. He’s kind ...
