   About Sly & The Family Drone
Come and see us play, book us a gig. Get involved or stand at the back. Cover us in beer or shower us in glory. We'll play anywhere. We'll need an electrical supply and petrol money.

Help us help you. Love sly x



"This was one of the most unique performances we've seen in a while. Utilising a three person drum kit and speaker stack, Sly and the Family Drone reduce music to it's bare essentials, a primal orchestra of drum rhythms and drone noise. Their reductionist take on music is literal, they split their drum kit to it's singular base units, passing individual drums and snares to the audience who maintain the beat while they free themselves for more noise and freestyle mayhem. Their show unfolds like a temporal art narrative on entropy. In the beginning they start physically in space as a tight musical unit of drums and speakers, a high pitched whine fills the air, layers of noise and distorted vocals slowly fill the room and the percussion starts to find it's beat. Then they beat the rhythms structured and regular seemingly into forever untill, eventually everything starts to breakdown into chaos and noise and jazz. By the end of their set their drums and equipment are scattered, the remains of their music lying bare across the floor."

3 reasons.

1) The Putterman has gone to Germany and I miss his stupid hair.
2) Some shit cunt stole his laptop a night before he left.
3) When he gets back he's gotta go to Canada until April.

Sort of 4 reasons if you count his hair.......

Get us some shows in Germany so we can drink the beer and eat wurst until we sick.
