The Smith Street Band and lead singer Wil Wagner have this week achieved their fifth Top 50 ARIA Album chart entry for 2020 with the release of live album Viva La Rev.
Recorded in February 2019, Viva La Rev captures The Smith Street Band’s last show at The Reverence Hotel, before the Footscray venue closed its doors. It is the second live album The Smith Street Band have released this year, following on from the release of Live At The Triffid back in March, which debuted at #4 on the ARIA Album Chart and #1 on the AIR Album Chart.
April 2020 marked the band’s first #1 on the ARIA Album Chart with the release of their fifth studio album Don’t Waste Your Anger, which was recorded at the band’s Bush House Studios in regional Victoria.
The Smith Street Band’s lead singer Wil Wagner has also had two solo ARIA Album chart entries this year, with the digital release of his old demo collection I Hope I Don’t Come Across Intense (originally released on tape in 2016) and his first solo studio album in seven years, Spiralling which debuted at #9 in September.
