Yep easily could be a Drones tune - and I’m more than ok with that

Yeah only got into them a few weeks ago after someone posted Taman Shud in the Australia Day thread, I thought it was very clever and that whole record I got into a lot. The earlier stuff I didn’t actually enjoy as much but still is better than a lot of bands. I played it to my bandmates as a reference to something we could rip off for a song we’re working on and they all loved it, so if I do a jag in a few months time with a song that sounds like a third rate Drones you can blame wherever posted that song in the thread :wink:

I like what I’ve heard of Tropical Fuck Storm so far, believe I saw that live version of Let My Tires Down posted above and was blown away by the energy of it.

I hope with the album release they can get over here and do some gigs, obviously unless you’re Tame Impala etc it’s barely worth coming over financially though, we’ll see :crossed_fingers:

I’m pretty sure I recognise the bassist from The Drones in there too. Are they the only two Drones members in TFS?

Note that even in Australia:

+ POSTAGE WITHIN AUSTRALIA: $75

I mean WTAF? Aussie postage rates for a lot of online stuff are just insane and I don’t understand it. Even looking at stuff that’s lightweight and posted (apparently) from Melbourne you can have posting costing 5 or 6 times what it’s worth

EDIT I think that’s the cost including postage so in fact you’re paying $25 extra total for it to be shipped to the UK. That’s probably reasonable judging what I was paying to send presents back and stuff.

yep Gaz and Fi from the Drones

Erica, the other guitarist/singer, is in Harmony, MOD CON and Palm Springs
and Lauren, the drummer, is from High Tension

yep limited edition singles and all that as well

not very clear putting ‘+ POSTAGE’ on it, when it is actually included!

I only know them from Shark Fin Blues when I heard it on Rectify (one of the best, least appreciated shows from the last 5 years, so beautiful) and it still blows me away every time I hear it. Will definitely have to check more of their stuff out based on this thread!

Fucking love(d) Rectify. And it was how I found out about The Drones too. Such a good song that it overcomes first hearing it soundtracking a vigorous masturbation scene.

Can confirm that is $75 including postage within Australia. Decided to buy the singles when I pre-ordered the album. I’ve enjoyed all of them and The Drones are amongst my favourite bands so why not eh? Support the musicians you like and that.
