The former drummer of one of Australia’s most critically acclaimed bands The Drones, Mike Noga has fronted numerous outfits of his own and has released two highly lauded solo albums. His long-awaited third album KING is out August 26 via Cooking Vinyl Australia. KING is a dark, psychedelic concept album, loosely based on George Büchner’s famous 1830’s play, Woyzeck’. Featuring Noah Taylor (Game of Thrones, Almost Famous) as “The Narrator” and produced by Something For Kate’s Paul Dempsey, KING tells the tale of one mans descent into madness and the bloodshed that follows.
