Aussie cult rockers The Drones will be back in Europe later this month as they set out on a 24-date tour which includes two UK shows. The first of these is at Oslo in London on the 10th of November with the second the following night at The Wardrobe in Leeds.
To coincide with this tour the five-piece band from Melbourne have just released ‘Taman Shud’, the first single to be taken from their forthcoming seventh studio album which is due out in February 2016. Accompanied by a stunning video directed by Chris Matthews of Defero Productions, ‘Taman Shud’ is an uncompromising, stuttering, snarling slice of agit-pop that has most everyone and everything from Andrew Bolt to Rupert Murdoch and capitalism firmly in its cross-hairs.
‘Taman Shud’ is now available digitally on iTunes now via TFS Records.
