I honestly can't think of a single band working today who are better than The Drones. Everything you expect from music - they nail it. Their music is emotionally resonant, well written and well played, original, hugely enjoyable and warm, poetic, relevant, and even challenging. I love them.
Heard this song while I spent a year in Melbourne. Took another year of listening to triple j best Australian songs of all time to rediscover it. One of my favourites.
Only Gareth Liddiard could use lyrics like 'thou will find one self-perturbed by less verbose calamities' and talk about baked beans in the same song. For me that sums up whats so good about this band - a level of musical sophistication that can be hard to find in this country, combined with good ol' aussie down-to-earthedness.
I love this song.. seriously I´ve been listening it the whole day .. and everytime, i have the same excitment as if i were listening for the 1st time.. Love it
Best lyrics EVER-this is how i feel every day. Yeah they cannot say u never tried! "Thou shalt find oneself perturbed by less verbose calamities"-brilliant irony.
Great radio session, Excellent quality. Thanks for sharing this. Was absolutely stoked when this band walked out as late additions to support Neil Young 2x recently in Melbourne..... Can't wait to see them next week headlining a full set.
For people asking about the suicide is painless video, I'm pretty sure the audio is on the cd: Triple J: Like A Version Five. Its kinda cheap on discogs, I've thought about buying it just for that song but shipping to the USA is kinda expensive. If you buy one first upload it :)
in a way yes. but then again, these guys need the money to continue what they are doing so great. id hate to see them fade because they only had a small community of listeners
@enaznazz to be honest it's a lot better now with all the media sources we have now(for instance someone shared this on Facebook, i just pressed on this link, never having heard The Drones 'which i love'). So therefore we just have to go looking it, or eventually it will come to us, and for the time being i think it's kind of special knowing your'e a part of a minority which collectively have the same interests :)

11 years later do you still think so? I think there is still a case for it.

This song is epic, the energy in which he is singing is unreal! 5 spuds
"You wanna shrink your stinky footprint? Get your tubes tied" This song sold won me over when I heard that
WOW! True to the core Aussie home grown folk.
Brilliant song. Hope these guys get the recognition they deserve some day.
they didn't
@@drewbocopunfortunate. But hey, at least TFS is bigger than The Drones ever were so it's working out one way or another
They are the best band around, and I have seen them live!
There was a "Suicide is Painless" Cover in this video, wasn't there?
It just got reuploaded a few months ago if you still want to see it
I love this song.. seriously I´ve been listening it the whole day .. and everytime, i have the same excitment as if i were listening for the 1st time..
Love it
Excellent. Checked this out because of shark fin blues. You Aussies have a good thing going. Keep up the good work.
pisses me off to see such awesome music not recognized by the world. it aint right

Love this❤
this is just fantastic
goin to see them tomorrow night, first time, so stoked!
Ohhhh yeah I remember, i loved it! now im gonna play it in my car tomoro, thanks bud!
Stars.
I was wondering,where can i find the other part of the video where they covered "suicide is painless". Kinda bummer that someone removed it
Why am I not surprised Robbie Buck is at the helm of such a great radio session?!
WOW... good call.
Agree completely grahamlaur well said
brilliant
awesome video. just realised the dj is probably a huge radiohead fan, eraser art on the wall and a picture of thom yorke hanging somewhere
“From now on until your grandkids finally get what you deserve”..
Brilliant
Funeral song please or maybe a wedding ballad or maybe just everyday foot prints on this concrete side walk called life

hilariously serious
we pretty much have the same music taste. give or take a few artists.
good mix man
its pretty clear this is the greatest fucking band around

AJS CRAZY!
3 people seem to have found themselves perturbed by less verbose calamities...
umm...
i think
@ManuelAndCallisyn Triple j. An australian radio station
I doubt it has this version - the jjj site might tho
wow
שילגייה.
wtf has their like a version been taken down??
yep
Cover of Suicide is Painless (MASH Theme Song)
"U..?..." ½+1?
By it off itunes for $AU 1.69
What was there like of version?
Suicide is painless
And not a single guitar was tuned in this video...
Is there a more raw talented ban in Australia?? No.
I have never seen this band and I never will, it is just not worth the hype!
Honestly Tropical Fuck Storm looks just as promising if not more for a live band
Good old Adolpho, never fails
