It's the day every new band dreams of - the release of their first single.
And for four young Whanganui musicians - Andrew Condon, Isaac Chamberlain, Adam Robinson and Ethan Coleman - that day has come.
Caged is an original song from city band Drones and is the feature of a release event at Mint Bar and Café on November 12.
"It's to celebrate our successes so far - we all love to play live," bassist Andrew Condon said.
Gigs have been plentiful since Drones featured in this year's Battle of the Bands - winning its regional final and making it all the way to the national final. "Although we did not place, almost everything we've done since has been a result of it."
