Snuff Puppets are opening a new music and arts bar, Snuff Salooon, at the historic Footscray Drill Hall.
The first Snuff Salooon headlines electro-dub band High Pass Filter, known for their unconventional instruments, including looped tape machines, conch shells, telephone receivers, air tubes, and toys.
Drummer, composer, and producer Maria Moles will perform a solo improvisation on drum kit.
Six Snuff Puppets puppeteers, with over 100 years combined performance experience, will create unique acts on stage and in the crowd.
Drag artist Jetstir showcases their character, Rodney Rattus, connoisseur of chaos, business rat with a love for red wine. Guest artist Sausage Woman will perform a human-sized Mother puppet.
Live drawing by Chris Ferric will be projected above the dancefloor.
Future monthly Salooons will present different themes, including The Body, End of the World, Circus, and culminating in a wild Snuff Party in December.
Nick Wilson, Snuff Puppets co-artistic director, said “We can’t wait to open our salooon and share our love of music and art with hundreds of
people”
The inaugural Snuff Salooon will be held at 7pm on Saturday August 2 at Footscray Drill Hall, 395 Barkly Street, Footscray. Tickets: $20-$35 – snuffpuppets.com
