“The Drones were their usual cathartic, thunder and lightning best. The new songs from their album out next month sounded strong, while they still manage to find new light within their older songs. “They’re a pretty intense little band,” remarked a punter standing next to me. That was the understatement of the day so far.”
Richard Kingsmill – TRIPLEJ
After a blistering performance at Splendour In The Grass, The Drones jumped a jet plane relocating to the USA for two months. A tour with the likes of Built To Spill and The Meat Puppets and a special trip east side to hit the stage at the infamous All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival in New York … what a perfect way to warm up for the release of their highly anticipated fourth studio album, Havilah, due in store September 20th 2008.
When they return home in October, The Drones will be joined by a number of special guests as they embark on a national tour to show off their new creation.
Havilah will be in store September 20th 2008, through ATP Recordings and MGM Distribution.
