The Drones

I first met The Drones last year, for a Drum Cover. This was a pretty speedy shoot, where we had set up all the lighting. In and out. Bang bang.

Next time I saw the band, up in Splendor*, this time for Jmag. It was another speedy shoot. The shot was a bit of an homage to the first shot. Pretty close......

I had a studio setup backstage and photographed all the acts after they were interviewed by Triple J. Some bands raced in before they jumped on stage, others hung around for ages, (I had them draw their band names on white card. The most impressive was Sigor Ros. Amazing. Each band's drawings got better and better as the festival went on. Everyone trying to up the rest).

The Drones had a plane to catch, to the US. As it happens, I saw them in New York. It was a great night. Ex pats style.
