Drag (band)
Drag are an Australian rock band led by Darren Middleton, most known as the lead guitarist from rock group Powderfinger. History Middleton started the band with drummer Mark McElligott, who is also the live engineer for Powderfinger, in 2000 as a side project. In 2002, the duo recorded the EP ''Gas Food Lodging'', a small collection of original songs written specifically for Drag. For these recordings, they brought in local Brisbane musicians, bass player Sean Hartman and pianist Matt Murphy as session musicians to play on the EP.

The band signed with the record label Dew Process, the same label that co-Powderfinger member Bernard Fanning signed with and released his solo album. The band recorded their debut album in early 2005 in Byron Bay. The ba ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
