DRAUGHT DODGERS

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...

Prepare yourself for a set of whirlwind guitars, V8 fuelled backbeats, electrified hip shakin' swagger & a whole lot of boot stompin' action as Tim Rogers brand new guitar spanking outfit fronted by Diamond Jack Davies, alongside rhythm section Evan Richards & Mick Sayers, take to the stage for a night of soul saving rock 'n' roll dance music. 

Sounding a little like the demented love child of Beefheart, The Cramps, Stooges & Easybeats, the DRAUGHT DODGERS are here to make you want to dance.

Since the Dodgers conception in mid 2016, the band first bared it’s Rock ‘n’ Soul to Melbourne audiences playing the Prince of Wales, as part of the Spencer P Jones benefit, to an overtly warm reception to their debut live performance, followed shortly by shows with You Am I. 2017 saw the Dodgers in the studio with Davey Lane to capture the fuzz-punked sonic riff & rhythm machine, in between various tours around the country with Hoodoo Gurus, Dallas Crane & Supersuckers (from USA).  With an EP mixed & mastered The Draught Dodgers are now at the exciting manufacturing process of a 7” single due for release and general consumption in the up and coming months.

You might be curious to know which of the band live in Reservoir. It turns out Jack lives in North Coburg, which is kind of close but not quite close enough. For this reason, we have decided to crown Tim Rogers as Reservoir's Honorary Resident For A Day. There will be a regal ceremony to officially bestow this award to Tim on the day. He's going to love it....
