"THE DRONES will reunite for the first time in nine years for two shows in Melbourne with a bunch of our mates. These shows are a fundraiser for a dear friend to improve their life circumstances in a time of need. All proceeds, aside from venue hire and ticketing fees, will go directly to the cause."
PLATONIC LOVE JAM
Featuring
The Drones || Paul Kelly & Dan Kelly || Don Walker
The Nation Blue || ModCon || Cease And Desist DJs
The Croxton Bandroom, Melbourne May 28th and 29th
Can't wait! Only bummer is that Paul/Dan are on one night and Don is on another (I want to see all three of 'em!) but in addition to The Drones, it'll be great to see The Nation Blue, I haven't seen 'em for probably twenty years.

Huge! Tom from the Nation Blue has (another) new band, Metho, who are playing around atm. Been playing songs from his last, and very very good solo album, Raging Head, and other new stuff. Band features Jackson from Split System, Jay from Mid Youth Crisis/Fuck...I'm Dead/The Kill etc and CJ Foley from the Stevens. Get on it. (Not their publicist)
the only accom within staggering distance of the croxton, a 2 b-r townhouse, has been snapped up 27-30th. someone doing it in style. may be even blowing a load on both nights.

Public transport options aplenty. Stay in one of your usual haunts.
wasn't going to make this one, busy time for me, always fun to have a look though.
(lucky I wasn't gagging for it, both shows sold out.)
Keep Live Melbourne Bands thread going...
The Ground Components wear an unusual prestigious label of being [Uniquely Melbourne]
Another band from tbb's Alt Bin...but this Track is way better...got blown away by this Mega Monster...
Most of the band's stock & trade is off key Punk / R&B Jam Sessions for Festivals & big tour acts...
Band was about from 2002-2007...can any crew share more on this Live wire act.
Coz they really do pack a punch...happy to hunt down this Mystery Melbourne Megasaurus!
Band could give Roary a breather to Power up yer Wave Pool...ramp some heavy sounding tidal waves

YouTube comment : { Pretty fucking amazing song! }
Another Comment : { Rock and Fucking Roll! }
Agree that the Artzy Melbourne Vid is also a perfect companion...goes off like a bomb...{Kaboom!}
Ben's Tunesmith's luv that 'Unique Melbourne Sound'...our components have been well'n'truly grounded.
Nice one TBB, I have heard of them but can't say I saw them play, kiddies were bubs in that era so no playtime for me.
Heard this the other day, popped up in my insta feed. Not my usual cup of tea but some pretty awesome fretboard work and allround groovy goodness going on. Short and sweet.
I notice Apple Cider Vinegar ep 1 has dropped on Netflix, @RK.
here's an early (unrelated) Apple Cider song from Beabadoobee.
coming to a Laneway Festival near you.
Why not lock in some weird unknown Oz Alt Chix Supergroup ...[ SPLINTER ]

Quality recording...long overdue to Salute & enjoy these Oz pioneering Splinter Sisters
Some real deluxe layering on this Splinter ep...
I hear you TBB.
And one seeds may like.
Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.
Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.
