Aussie blues band The Drones are stepping up their efforts at world domination with a trip to North America at the end of the month.
They’ve just returned home after a lengthy stint in Europe, but already they’re itching to head abroad. They’ll tour North America with Seattle indie trio Band of Horses. The massive tour kicks off in Charlottesville, Virginia on October 30 and takes in much of the United States, Quebec, and Ontario.
The Drones are looking to promote their new four-track 7-inch record, the first in ATP Recordings Custom Made series. These recordings feature something old (in this case their rerecording of “Cockeyed Lowlife of the Highlands”), something new (a track called “I Don’t Ever Want to Change”), something borrowed (a cover of Charles Aznavour’s “I Drink”) and something blue (the very appropriate “Shark Fin Blues”).
Aussies can see off this beloved blues outfit at their remaining local gigs in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and country Victoria. Check The Drones website for all the local and U.S. dates!
