Currently holed up in a mud brick house somewhere in the mountains outside of Myrtleford, Victoria, The Drones are laying down tracks for what is to become their fourth studio LP, due in stores in September 2008, on ATP recordings.

The house, which is set deep in the forested foothills of Mt Buffalo, has a history dating back to the gold rush era of the 1860's. By the 1870's, however, the entire area was abandoned and to this day only a handful of farmers and The Drones inhabit the area.

Augie March Start Album Number Four

Three albums in twelve years. Four years between albums two and three. When Augie March start work on a new album, you know it’s because they’re ready.

Contrary to how it may seem, songwriter Glenn Richards’ output is prolific. But only the very best, blue-chip material makes it through the brutal self-assessment and then band-assessment stages to go on the shortlist to be on the album. That shortlist is now overflowing. Word is, the material is the finest yet.

New Album Sharing Space
No one can ever accuse Cog of doing things the easy way. Never catering to formula or template, eschewing the safe or conventional in their songwriting, the powerhouse trio have at heart always been a truly progressive band, one driven by sheer will, a tenacious belief in themselves, and an uncompromising musicality. But from day one, it’s been one long hard slog for this band.
