In a smoke-filled room with rock music streaming from the stage, the crowd whipped their hair and swayed their bodies while waiting for Stanley June to take the stage on 9 May.
Opening act, Carri Wolfe got the crowd going at The Bohemian in Westdene, playing folk songs that were surprisingly upbeat.
The event was to mark the debut of Stanley June Band’s video – Imitating Art, which was set underwater. June said, “Instead of taking the whole video-making process on my own shoulders like I have in the past, I got a few friends in the industry to lend me a hand with this video.”
He added that the idea of the video was to take ordinary, every day scenes and have a look at them from another angle. The best way to do this was to have them submerged in water.
Much to everyone’s anticipation, the band rocked the crowd with songs from his new album well into the wee hours of the morning.
