Wolfmother

Short Biography
Wolfmother is a band from Erskineville, Sydney, Australia. Their music is often described as ham sandwich-retro-rock and is inspired by such grand acts of the late-60s as Jimi Hendrix, Cream and The Beatles, also drawing influence from more modern bands such as The White Stripes.
In 2004, Wolfmother began appearing at several high profile music events, such as Homebake and the Big Day Out. They also released their debut self-titled EP through Modular Recordings.
In 2005, the band made their way to LA, working alongside producer Dave Sardy (of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Marilyn Manson and Oasis fame) to record their much-hyped self-titled debut album, released in October 2005.

In-depth Biography
Truly a band out of time, Australian power trio Wolfmother were conceived in 2000 -- about 30 years too late, considering that their psychedelic brand of proto-heavy metal sounds like a ringer for late-'60s/early-'70s bands such as Blue Cheer and Black Sabbath. Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Andrew Stockdale, bassist/organist Chris Ross, and drummer Myles Heskett, Wolfmother took the initiative of recording a four-track demo in 2004 for the purpose of getting booked for shows. But so sterling were the results that they soon found themselves re-recording it for official release via local Modular Records. A second EP, Dimensions, appeared in 2006, and Wolfmother made the jump to the majors in early 2006 courtesy of an American distribution deal for Modular through Interscope. Their self-titled album debut appeared in May and reached the Top 40. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
