2012 saw Melbourne showman Henry Wagons venture out on his own, releasing his first solo recording, Expecting Company to international acclaim.
Having travelled far and wide to collaborate with musicians and vocalists from Robert Forster to Alison Mosshart, 2013 sees Henry returning home, with work on Wagons’ sixth studio album soon to be underway.
To celebrate the return of the old guard, Wagons will perform their first full-band shows since 2011 – on Saturday June 15 at Sydney’s Vanguard theatre, and Saturday June 22 at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel, previewing a selection of new songs from their forthcoming record across each night.
Currently touring America, writes Henry: “I can only keep the massive hairy men in my band at bay for so long. It’ll be the first time we’ve all played together live in quite a while, so we are all looking forward to catching up with you over a drink and some loud noise”.
As the band’s first shows in close to two years, fans are encouraged to secure tickets early, with no further headline dates will be announced prior to Wagons’ album release in late 2013. Wagons’ new album follows 2011’s Rumble, Shake and Tumble, and Henry’s solo creation, Expecting Company (2012).
