1) The Droogies were a Chapel Hill-based instrumental indie rock band from circa 2003-2004. From their website:
We've been a band for a little over a year now. Back in the day, we all used to play in a band called Slippery Chicken together but then kind of parted ways musically to form two other bands, Buglite and Human Pudding. Big props to Will, Carson, Jon, David and John for helping make that music possible.
About two years later, the three of us decided to start a new band. After watching and reading A Clockwork Orange we decided to name our band The Droogies. Since then, we have been practicing and performing as much as possible.
We plan to live in NYC for the summer of 2003. Stephen received an internship at Blue Note Records somehow so we're moving up there with him. We are sharing two rooms at NYU where we will practice all the damn time and try and get as many shows as we can. It'll be challenging as hell but a good experience for all of us. We're all really psyched. Anyone who wants stay with us for a week or two is definitely welcome.
In other news, recording starts on November 22nd for our second seven-song EP thingamajiggy. We might call it Milk Plus BoBerry Biscuits for lack of a better name. Chan of the ever-popular Bahn's Vietnamese Cuisine on Ninth Street in Durham will be the man behind the mixing board. It'll be all the new songs you've come to love over the years.
Aite, on to the band members; we have Stephen Coffman, 18, on the drums. We have Duncan Webster, 19, on the bass guitar and baritone guitar. And we have Joe Hall, 19, on the guitar and the baritone guitar. We all sing a little, but not a lot. Our influences range from Faraquet to They Might Be Giants to The Pixies to Outkast to Biz Markie to Burning Airlines to The Clash to pretty much anything that's good. That's all the news for now. If you want us to play a show or a party or just want to be down with us, then send an email to one or all of the following addresses. Word up, thanks a lot!

2) The Droogies from Brazil:
Há quase cinco anos, o Droogies soa como alguns dos melhores revivalistas de uma matriz punk / hard rock, caçando influências que há vinte anos pareceriam díspares, mas que hoje podemos enxergar como irmãs. A banda já passou por várias formações e, em 2005, lançou “Street Stripper”, seu EP de estréia. O conjunto das seis faixas é, praticamente, um pé na porta, um direto no estômago, com toda a violência de Alex De Large, que batiza o grupo.
As bebedeiras, o sexo desperdiçado nas noites da cidade de Londrina (PR), as ruas sujas, tudo emoldurado em refrões para se cantar em coro, de preferência acompanhado de um drinque. As influências são claras: os “lipstic traces” dos Dolls no projeto gráfico são uma boa pista por onde se começar. Solos gritantes, vocais ásperos, pianos e teclados com arranjos cavernosos, bateria e baixo remontam os áureos tempos da primeira safra setentista do rock `n` roll nova-iorquino e londrino.
Os Droogies parecem ter voltado no tempo e retomado as coisas um momento antes do Hanoi Rocks e o Def Leppard terem sugerido a sua versão para o hard rock dali para adiante. O grupo já tocou com bandas como Forgotten Boys (SP), Coffin Lids (USA), Cólera (SP) e em festivais como o Demo Sul, Grito Rock, o Londrirock Verão e o Festival Fora do Eixo (SP). No momento, a banda se apresenta constantemente, foi convidada a participar das prévias para o Festival Calango em Goiânia, de um Tributo ao Misfits na Argentina com a faixa “She” e trabalha em novas composições que farão parte do segundo disco (ainda sem nome) a ser lançado em 2007. Afinal, nem só de bandas “hype” deveriam viver essas meninas com cintos de tachinha.
