Wagons are an Australian alt-country band from Melbourne, Australia, led by singer/songwriter/television and radio presenter Henry Wagons.

History

The band was formed in Melbourne in 1999 by Henry Wagons with his school friends from Glen Waverley in Melbourne; Si "The Philanthropist" Francis, Richard Blazé, Steve "Harmony" Hassett and Mark "Tuckerbag" Dawson.[1][2][3]

The band has cited influences including Johnny Cash, Scott Walker, Nick Cave and Vegas-era Elvis on their musical style. A regular feature of their live shows is a version of the Wayfaring Strangers song "Willie Nelson".[4] They are known for their energetic and dramatic indie country rock performances in which Henry Wagons engages in banter with the audience [5] between songs.[6]

Henry Wagons is the grandson of Henry Krips, a Viennese emigree conductor of the South Australian Symphony Orchestra.[7][8] He was named one of the 100 most influential people in Melbourne by the AGE magazine in 2009.[9][10] Prior to forming the band, Henry (as Henry Krips), was synthesizer player in a Melbourne improvisational quartet called Dworzec.[11][12]

Wagons released their first album in 2000.[6] On 11 March 2002 they released their second album Trying To Get Home on Chapter Music.[13][14]

On 26 July 2004, they released Draw Blood on Spunk Records.[14] The Curse of Lightning was released on 15 October 2007 on Spunk Records.[14]

Rumble Shake and Tumble was released on 16 August 2011 on Spunk Records, and was again produced by Cornel Wilczek.[17] Wagons toured in the US and Canada appearing at the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle in September 2011.[18] They won The Age EG awards for Best Band, and the Best Album award for Rumble Shake and Tumble.[19] The album also won the Best Independent Country Album award in the Jägermeister Independent Music Awards 2011.[20]

Wagons performed in the US and appeared at SXSW in March 2011.[21]

Acid Rain and Sugar Cane was released on 16 May 2014 on Spunk Records.[5] The album was produced by Mick Harvey of the Bad Seeds, who also played on the album.[22] Wagons again toured North America in 2014 appearing at festivals including the Vancouver Folk Festival,[23] Montreal Jazz Festival,[24] and RBC Ottawa Bluesfest.[25]
