Drummer for The Drones and Glenn Richards, Mike Noga has been asked personally by Band of Horses to support them on their European tour.
Mike Noga’s solo career is on the up and up.
In between drumming for The Drones and Glenn Richards, Noga has finally finished recording the follow up to his acclaimed 2006 debut solo album Folk Songs.
The new, as yet untitled album will be released in March. As if that wasn’t enough, a copy of the record landed in Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses’ hands, and Noga has now been personally asked by the band to support them on their European tour in February.
Playing some of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious venues, from The Paradiso in Amsterdam to La Cigale in Paris, Noga will take his Gentlemen of Fortune cohorts Pat Bourke and Gus Agars (who both feature on the new album) on the road with him to give the Europeans the first taste of his new material.
A full album launch tour of Australia is scheduled for his return in late March. More details to follow.
Meanwhile you can bid Noga au revoir at his farewell/warm up show where he’ll be previewing songs from his new record at The Workers Club on Saturday January 29, with special guests Little John and Chris Altman.
Doors open at 8pm. Tickets $15+bf at moshtix.com.au
