The Drones Revisit the States
Australian rockers The Drones have added US dates to their Havillah Tour this fall. Support includes LA indie rockers Model/Actress and fellow Aussies Bridezilla. We’re talking about dreamy rock, dripping with despondent riffs and far away melodies and performances packed with unmatchable energy. So if you haven’t seen The Drones live yet, here’s your chance.
The band rose to prominence in the early 2000s, citing a multitude of influences including Neil Young,The Velvet Underground, Bad Brains, Suicide, Green on Red, The Birthday Party, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and Nina Simone. Their sound has often been described as The Birthday Party kicking the shit out of Neil Young in Hendrix’ garage. Their latest album Havilah was released on ATP Recordings in March of 2009.
