Wagons ho!

Australia's Wagons are a lively bunch who blend the outlaw country of the 1970s with a wide variety of soul and R&B garnishes. Add in smart-guy frontman Henry Wagon's lively banter and you have a killer show. Mind you, Zaphod's almost didn't get the electric version. This was the scene outside the front door moments before the band was slated to go on.

Lights out on York Street

Egads! Power outage! Fortunately things were back up and running soon enough. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Wagons - also guitar men Richard Blaze and Chad Mason, drummer Si the Philanthropist and bassist Steve 'Harmony' Hassett..
