The Balladeer Hunter, the sophomore solo album from The Drones’ drummer Mike Noga hits record stores today. To celebrate Mike’s announced that he’ll play a string of shows in May. That should give us all time to get familiar with the new material!
Mike should be in fine form as he’s just returned from a European tour that saw him supporting Band of Horses. He’ll play his Australian gigs alongside longtime collaborators Pat Bourke, or Dallas Crane, and Gus Agars of The Gin Club. They should be well and truly familiar with the material as they also appeared on the album.
