The Wesley Anne
They were never going to disappoint. The Triple J-found Sydney-siders, The Lucky Wonders did nothing but impress the handful of patrons that had the pleasure of watching them in Northcote on Sa
turday night.Hello Satellites started the evening utilising accordian, violin, electronica and a thongomophone to back up the incredible voice of lead singer Eva Popov - who delivered nothing short of an intense set of vocals to a crowd listening in stunned silence
The Lucky Wonders smack of The Waifs - a comparison I'm sure they're sick of - but at any rate - it sounded like the Waifs because the Waifs are amazing and I'm sure this is nothing but a good thing. Every song was easily accessible, sweet and accompanied by vocal melodies that took centre stage over the tried and true folk-pop chords ringing o

Only a handful of punters were on hand to witness the Lucky Wonders begin a no-doubt stellar career playing Aussie festival circuits for the next 20 years.
The last two songs pre-the 11pm Wesley curfew were the two best songs of the night. Their foray into country was a welcome relief from the Waifs-esque folk-pop which gave way to the uppity 'Entertain Myself' to finish.
4 woos out of 5.
