It was a bizarre idea; the global album launch party for one of the most anticipated albums in recent memory at the Wee Waa Show, a small rural town 7 hours drive from Sydney.

As soon as I heard of it I was keen to shoot it, and thankfully got the gig from my Splendour Studio pals at Sound Alliance, shooting for Junkee, In The Mix and Faster Louder.

The album leaked a couple of days prior to the event, and Daft Punk were always denied to be in attendance, so the whole thing was more about a strange shared experience of a big dance party in a small town with a funny name.

In lieu of the real Daft Punk there were plenty of fans in character.

Before the party kicked off there was also the usual Wee Waa show festivities, like the Pet Competition, Dog Jump and agricultural prizes.

It was an impressive light show to match the huge illuminated dancefloor

Lots of police, but they appeared not to be pooping too many people’s partying
