EXCLUSIVE: Missy Higgins Reads From Her Book Oz - The Drones

As she reads from her forthcoming book of essays Oz, Missy Higgins reveals that the first time she encountered The Drones' frontman Gareth Liddiard, she thought he was an alien.

Higgins' Oz book will be released September 19 to accompany her new album — also titled Oz, a collection of reinterpretations of Australian songs close to her heart. Higgins covers, and writes about, artists such as The Go-Betweens and The Drones.  She also sets out on a national tour soon, kicking off in Cairns on September 20.
