WAGONS
blazing a trail

Praise for WAGONS:
“Wagons makes sly rock ’n’ roll that both intellectuals and pop fans can appreciate” – Nashville Cream
“One of Australia’s great live bands” – The Music
“Most musicians who reinvent themselves adopt a lofty distance from their audience, but Wagons is motivated by the fiercely loyal following the group has built over 12 years and six studio albums.” – Sydney Morning Herald

Wagons have followed up their triumphant return earlier this year, “Keep On Coming Back” with an equally catchy new masterpiece “Wake Up”. After an almost five-year gap for the band, they prove their ability to meld the worlds of Americana and alt-pop, reviving their original sound with a modern flair which catapults them ahead of the competition.
Listen to “Wake Up” here
“Wake Up”, with its jangled riff, sweeping strings and snare that cracks like a whip, could be the soundtrack to a spaghetti western set somewhere on the plateau of a parched, pink salt lake.
“There is a unique thickness to the air when you wake up when everyone else is asleep,” says frontman Henry Wagons. “Ideas seem to bounce around faster…unhindered, like dominoes tumbling. Without any fences, thoughts can circle around, especially the anxious ones. Taking stock, in the blackness, and stubbornly reminding yourself everything is ok is the only way out, whether they are or not.”
WAGONS are gearing up to release their new album “Songs From the Aftermath” on August 9th, followed by an Australian tour throughout September. The first single from the album, “Keep On Coming Back” took listeners on a roadtrip through their most sentimental and heartfelt memories upon its release in June.

WAGONS stay atop their own tidal wave of hard-hitting, outlaw inspired, swamp rock madness, still pulsing and stomping together as a joint force, with singer Henry Wagons at the helm. Henry’s fierce intellect, once hurtling toward a career as a philosopher, was thankfully derailed by a record deal, a thirst for whisky and an insatiable need to make noise, as made evident by their music and lyrics.
The group have been regularly compared to the cheekiest and most mischievous of musical outlaws, from Johnny Cash to Nick Cave and have circled the globe testing the fortitude of some of the biggest stages at Bonnaroo, Bluesfest, Laneway, as well as SXSW and Americana showcases.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
