Press Release:

The Drones finished their I See Seaweed national album tour earlier this year by obliterating the iconic Sydney Opera House with a blistering set of new songs peppered with long time favourites, then jumped on a plane to play Primavera Festivals in Spain and Portugal. 2013 has seen the band undertake their largest and most successful headline tour and release their most successful record to date.

In September they return to the stage for a second national tour to the delight of fans who missed out on tickets to the previous sold out shows. Joining them for the Australian shows will be Melbourne collective Harmony.

October sees the band head across the Tasman to play the first headline shows of their career in New Zealand. Earlier this year they played their debut live shows in a style not afforded to many bands…opening for Canadian legend Neil Young to a warm and rousing reception, gaining a bunch of new Kiwi fans.

“The Drones proved the best Oz import plonked upon us as opening act in a very long while… by crikey they were good.” NZ Herald
