The Drones have announced Distant Hen’s Night – The Drones Live At The Tote, a limited vinyl release available exclusively at their Australian tour shows in noise rock.
The eight-track record captures a sold-out performance at Melbourne’s Tote, recorded by Ryan Hazell and mixed by Gareth Liddiard. Restricting the pressing to the tour turns it into a physical document of their return.
The tour has expanded to 18 dates from 8 August to 4 October with support from The Mess Hall, preserving the friction and volatility that define The Drones live.
