The Drones: touring with Band of Horses

The Drones are launching a US tour with Band of Horses, starting tomorrow on October 30. This Australian “blue-based psych-rock” band is also releasing a double 7″ as part of Custom Made, a vinyl and digital series put out by ATP Recordings, on November 5.

“The vinyl is limited to just 1,000 pieces, and 100 of them will be special edition silk screened printed covers, numbered and signed by the sleeve designer.”

The concept behind The Drones double 7″ is “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.” They rerecorded Cockeyed Lowlife of the Highlands, and chose one of their new songs, I Don’t Ever Want To Change, from their Gala Mill album. Borrowing from Charles Aznavour, The Drones covered I Drink, and on side D is Shark Fin Blues from Wait Long By The River.

Side A. Something Old - Cockeyed Lowlife of the Highlands (New recording of this old song)
Side B. Something New - I Don’t Ever Want to Change (taken from the album Gala Mill)
Side C. Something Borrowed - I Drink (originally by Charles Aznavour)
Side D. Something Blue - Shark Fin Blues (taken from the album Wait Long By the River)
