   About The Drogues


The Drogues were born in the summer of 2001 by two friends who enjoyed bashing on guitars. They played with some very nice people, put out a CD and generally made people uncomfortable when they played live. In 2004, they stumbled across a drummer who claimed he had a gong that shot lasers. Holed up in an Oakland bunker, the trio proceeded to make an even louder racket: an angular sound inspired by their shared love of early eighties post-punk and agitprop political finger-flying.

Released in February, 2006, No Facts That Don't Fit is the second album on the band's own imprint, Waxbrain Records. Recorded at Tiny Telephone, John Vanderslice's all-analog San Francisco studio, with engineer Jay Pellicci (Deerhoof, Erase Errata), No Facts is a taut blast that faithfully captures the band's incessant, jittery live show.

Excellent Drogues. We would love that. We're only in SF for the night and we'd like to meet the city's finest. You are certainly grouped among the finest citizens. Plus you play fun tunes with good energy. We salute you.

Yes, that is Mike Watt and Kelly Clarkson. Your thoughts?

Thanks for the Add! Wishing You Smooth Sailing .... Life is but a Dream

the AstraKaKiteRaBoat - The Eternal Wandering of the Soul in the Barge of Deity

Paul's art is about the unification of Being with Becoming. Where are we now? Laffoley describes our time-period as the emergence of the Bauharoque ... which is the last period in the Modern Cycle, beginning at the turn of the second millenium A.D. and lasting to the year 2099. This time will see the end of 'science fiction' as all possibilities become reality. Religions, morality, mysticism and technology converge and after this sequence (which is happenng now) - all technology becomes physically alive as evolution becomes artificial & self-directed. Life and death become united and sex, race, species, matter, mind, space and time become interchangeable.
Deep grattitude for all the insightful comments on the profile! thanks and love, miqel (Laffoley profile admin)
