Description

The information for this image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 9th November 1988.

"Super Liquorman fires up again on Friday night with two bands -- one from Auckland, the other from Wellington -- which together should provide some of the most interesting experimental sounds heard since The Builders last played here. Drone are an innovative contemporary music/performance group based in Auckland who are presently making an extensive tour of New Zealand.

The band features a variety of musical instruments; from the conventional guitar, bass and drums to the more classical violin, cello and piano. Their songs are a combination of classical, art and rock concepts -- sometimes sparse and open, sometimes full and energetic but always aurally and visually engaging.

The band has performed throughout New Zealand in a variety of venues encompassing outdoor festival, hotels, art galleries and cafes. [Pictured] Drone ... in search of the sound of one hand clapping."
