Formed in Melbourne, The Drones are a magical but terrifying ride toward the edge of danger...sometimes chaotic and stern, sometimes melodic and joyful. Emerging as one of the best new bands in Australia, the combination of Mike Noga (drums) Fiona Kitschin (bass) Gareth Liddiard (vocals/guitar) Rui Pereira (guitar) have released the follow-up their 2005 album Wait Long By The River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By, entitled Gala Mill and released through ATP/Recordings.
Recorded in a mill on an isolated 10,000 acre farm on Tasmania's east coast, Gala Mill is an album full of extremes - moments of stark, ghostly beauty set against outbursts of the dark, intense noise for which the band is renowned. The album's sense of place is palpable - barking dogs and birdsong are heard between tracks, and the island's history and atmosphere resonate through the songs.
Infused with a rich sense of history and yet utterly modern, both thought-provoking and viscerally compelling, Gala Mill marks the welcome return of one of Australia's most intelligent, innovative and important bands.

There's nothing quite like it when australians get it right. Unfortunately it doesn't happen that often, but who says we can't change that? This seems to be the kickstart modern australian music needs!
You wrote me a letter And this is how it went: It said, "We're backing up the supply lines The first division's crossin' the Nile Through the rushes and up the side And into the machine gun fire Tell me that this is not a dream I've become a steel spring Uranium tips night vision cruise missles Gonna cut the belly out of the sky
Just saw The Drones in San Francisco recently. Brilliant show I must say.
This song and video are just so immense and amazing, it baffles my mind every time I watch it. Rock on Drones, thanks for coming to the states and sharing your awesome music with us.

Would love to see what they could do with a concept album.
