Wolfmother

<< < (3/3)

Grumpus:
I havn't managed to get into the white unicorn much yet. I'm listenng to it now.

tuo2:
So, I first heard Wolfmother at this year's Big Day Out (yes, I am a festival whore. Yes, I'm going next year). I was pretty bummed out at the Eskimo
Joe set and all of the extremely screamy young ladies, and the new "adult" Eskimo Joe just doesn't put on as interesting a live gig (especially not for a stadium/arena concert), so I went for a wander, trying to find the lillypad stage.

 Anyhow, I ended up at the Essential stage somehow, where there were like 500 goths and metalheads who I figured were there to watch Slipknot (yeah, I know, don't get me started). Wolfmother were on, and even though I only caught two songs, they were (and I'm quoting from my gig diary) "fucking awesome". I went out and bought the EP the next day.

So, in summary - good on album, fucking brilliant live. Highly recommending seeing them, if you get the chance. They are doing the BDO this year, and I think they are about to/may just have played the metro in sydney. Have a look.

--- Quote from: Hat ---I quite like them, but I still maintain they kinda fucked up Dimension on the album release, I can't quite remember why, but I think there are a lot of subtle differences between the album and the EP version that bug me. And yeah, they do sound quite a lot like zeppelin, but they manage to distinguish themselves just enough for me not to care. I can't see myself getting into them in a big way, although I might pick up their album just to see what I think of it. Their EP is quite the delicious little number.

Thank you, enigmatic headware. You have confirmed my suspicions.

Gryff:
I've been hearing Mind's Eye on the radio a bit recently and I can't decide whether I like them or not either. I really like the tune -- keyboards especially -- but they sound so retro… maybe a bit too retro. Like the only things they've ever listened to is Led Zep and Pink Floyd. Hmm.

I will catch them at the BDO and see what i think of them there.
