That Annandale Drone

The Annandale Hotel in Sydney, Australia has decided to release some very limited live recordings from their venue. That might not be terribly surprising. But, what is surprising, is the fact that their most recent release from Perth's The Drones has been released on vinyl! The Drones are tough to describe but are a concoction of rock, blues, and noise, and they appear to be influenced by the likes of; The Birthday Party, The Velvet Underground, Robert Johnson, Neil Young, Tom Waits, and The Gun Club. This very limited live LP comes signed and is a collection of live tracks recorded on the nights of October 18th and 19th, 2007. The LP is quite pricey though (given its limited release) and runs $45 Australian. There was a time when exchange rates to the US were favorable and it would be around $22 US, but now the Australian dollar and thee US dollar are about the same. More info can be found at The Annandale Hotel's website.

For those looking for something a bit cheaper, The Drones always post a nice collection of live MP3s and a few outtakes on their website.
