While a large amount of the other humans were out getting plastered on Cup Eve, there were a select few (about 1000) crammed into the Thornbury Theatre to witness
Henry Wagons' latest offering
Expecting Company.
Expecting Company is an EP/Mini Album that Henry recorded while on hiatus from The Wagons. I was lucky enough to be invited back to take the photos for the artwork so a follow up gig shoot was always on the cards.
A couple of familiar Wagonses make up this 6 piece band which also includes 3 members from another local Melbourne band
The Nymphs who duet with Henry in leu of the original musicians who appear on the album: (
Alison Mosshart (The Kills/The Dead Weather),
Sophia Brous,
Gossling, Jen Grant and Patience Hodgson (
The Grates). Standing in for Robert Forster was Brian Nankervis from Rockwiz.
As usual it was an awesome performance from Henry, a true showman and all round funny motherfucker...
