Dronica (pronounced DRONE-ICKA) is a two-piece improvised, experimental-noise-drone project consisting of THE JOHNNYS Emma-O on guitar and effects and COWBOY JUNKIES Jaroslaw Czerwinec on accordion. Strange, beautiful, trippy, sometimes abrasive, sometimes hypnotic, Dronica's music challenges the listener to expand their perceptions of what music should be. Like an abstract painting, Dronica is whatever the listener wants it to be. There are no verses, there are no choruses, there are no rules. When Emma-O plugs in her guitar and Jaroslaw revs up the accordion, no one knows what beautiful noise they will come out with. Creativity knows no boundaries, except those created by the human mind. Dronica steamrolls those boundaries with a wall of sound that can split the Earth, and people's ears.

Anything else...?
Close your eyes...
Lose your mind...
Let the Mothership teleport you to another dimension where the Flying Scotsmen, their kilts waving, greet you with hypnotic Highland Hymns...
Let them take you to the Mystic Sweatlodge to purge all reality that is nothingness...
Where the Cosmic Cow greets the noon-day moon with a saxophone bleat...
Where a demented sea shanty is your refuge from the storm of the Outer Worlds...
Listen...
Breathe...
Slip away...
Lose your mind...
