Hippy! Do you like the Wolfmother record?

[hippy]

I drove around a bit yesterday and got about three-quarters of my way through the record, and I freaking love it so far! Somebody's been listening to Queen; anyone else here the Tie Your Mother Down riff throughout Woman?

Yay! Straight up rock n' roll does a body good

 

[bono_man2002]

I'll be seeing these guys at the Leeds Festival in August!

 

[martha]

They're playing here on a school night.

Yeah, it's faster, but it's there.

 

[Lila64]

in case anyone in S.Calif. is interested, they are playing the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood on 6/14.

Martha and Hippy, thanks for the thread.

Ditto. I'm enjoying the record.

 

[hippy]

Ditto. I'm enjoying the record.

Can't wait to see these guys live someday... just downloaded a couple of their live shows, as I've heard their really great live!

 

[Lila64]

I think the show I mentioned above has sold out. Hubby checked for tickets, randomly (he likes to play with the TM site), and nothing came up.

 

[martha]

That show is killing me!

It's a school night.


But I listened to the record again last night on the way home from Las Vegas. It's still mighty good.

 

[hippy]

It's still mighty good.

It continues to grow on me even more


And their live shows are killer! I've got two bootlegs... just the audio is fantastic, I would love to have actually been in the venue for the shows

 

[Lila64]

Wolfmother will be on David Letterman on Friday, 6/9/06. Just a heads up for those interested

 

[martha]

Thanks!

 

[hippy]

Apparently they also played the MTV Movie Awards post show, which will be aired Thursday, June 8 starting at 9 pm on MTV USA... Wolfmother is on at 11 pm.



I'm still really liking this record

 

[martha]

I'll have to catch that on the reruns.

 

[Lila64]

also scheduled for Jimmy Kimmel (ABC) on Thursday 6/15

it was $8 @ Best Buy a couple of weeks ago...

 

[Lila64]

The CD has a low list price, so you should be able to find it reasonably cheap. Also, every store (at least major ones) have new releases on sale the first week of release - $8 was a VERY good deal if you bought it a that time!

I've only heard the one song that they've played on the talk-show circuit...

 

[DignityPassesBy]

I dont really like them alot but its great to see australian bands getting some recognition overseas

 

[U2dork]

I picked this up in my new music buying frenzy 'cause it was rather cheap. It's really growing on me.

They really do have a great energy to them.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Okay, wow. I just saw Wolfmother's video for their song Mind's Eye. I'm very, very confused. Did they just rip off Pink Floyd's Live At Pompeii film? Observe: (Wolfmother left, Pink Floyd right)

Shot of band on sand with stacked amplifiers behind them. Guitarist left, keyboard player right, drummer middle.

Tiled shot of guitar.

Shot of band members walking on a hill.

Overhead shot of drummer.

Lead singer...

Shot of stacked amplifiers from the back, with band name painted on.


Seriously, WTF? Is this just a nod to Pink Floyd, or is it a badly disguised rip off?

 

[LMP]

I see it as more of a nod, since their music was influenced by Floyd.

then again, it's a Coldplay-esque nod, and not a subtle, cool one.

 

[david]

Seriously, WTF? Is this just a nod to Pink Floyd, or is it a badly disguised rip off? [/B]

How could it be a badly disguised rip off when it's an obvious nod to Pink Floyd.

Besides, Beastie Boys paid homage to that video in their own video for their song "Gratitude." Radiohead also did the same thing for a video for a song off Pablo Honey, I believe it was "Stop Whispering."

It's just a video that obviously influenced a lot of bands.

 

[impy13]

My friends are going nuts over these guys after I introduced the album to them, which marks the first time I've introduced my friends to music they actually end up liking.

 

[Irishteen]

I've only heard Dimension, that was alright. Might pick up the album

 

[martha]

I'm going to go see them in September at the Hollywood Palladium!

Sure, it's a school night, but sometimes ya just gotta say What the Fuck!!

 

[hippy]

yay martha!

Unfortunately, I'm moving to Boston AFTER they have played there

 

[smurf_sista]

no, no, no, no NO

Wolfmother (in my opinion) suck ass! my boy listens to them that fine, but the lead singer cant sing the music (my mates band plays them) the music is fantatsic, if they get a singer who can actually sing then they would be 10x better

 

[Anu]

If you like Wolfmother, check out Black Mountain.

I get a feeling listening to Wolfmother that I did with early Cult. The record's eerie and mythopoetic and addictive.

 

[martha]

Oh man.

We went and saw these guys (finally) Tuesday night. They are amazing live! It was loud and tight and so so good. These boys can really play. They sounded even better live than they do on the record.

I'm looking forward to the next album.
