Spaceland Presents – The Drones (In Spaceland • Nov. 15th, 2006), or Live in Spaceland, is the first live album by Australian alternative rockers, the Drones, which was released in February 2007 via the American label, Spaceland Recordings. Its ten tracks were recorded at Spaceland, an alternative rock/indie rock nightclub in the Silver Lake neighbourhood of Los Angeles, on 15 November 2006, as part of NME's Wednesday night concert series.

PopMatters[1]

PopMatters gave the album a lukewarm review, calling it a "fairly unspectacular" effort that was "not recorded with the strongest material, or when the Drones are at their best", even calling it a "step back" from their "unhinged and visceral studio sound", despite being a "noble attempt".[1]
