Wolfmother go back to roots for first Groovin'

Bringing it back to where it all began, Wolfmother has developed their sound and have returned to the garage-like signature sound fans have grown to love.

Wolfmother front man Andrew Stockdale said their latest album New Crown encompasses the simplified version of music.

“We just wanted to get back to having that band in a room, live sort of atmosphere,” Stockdale said.

Countless tours and performing alongside the likes of Aerosmith, Pearl Jam and the Smashing Pumpkins just to name a few, Wolfmother has grown and evolved since their self-titled debut album in 2005 featuring the successful singles Joker and The Thief and Woman.

“I can’t really put ten years of experience into a short answer, I think I would need to write a book or something,” Stockdale said.

Asked how Wolfmother’s sound is different from the previous years, Stockdale found it a difficult question to answer given his close connection to the band.

“I don’t really know what’s different about it because I am a part of it and I am part of the creative process, so when you are that close to it, you don’t really see the evolution or the changes.

“Our styles on each record and the style has gone forward and backwards and evolved and changed I guess,” Stockdale said.

The band’s debut to this year’s Groovin’ the Moo promises to be exciting and exactly what fans expect from the world-renowned psychedelic rock band.

“You are just going to see what you have heard, what you have seen on YouTube.

“It’s us, it’s the band, it’s myself, the poetry, melodies and rifts and beats we have created over the last ten years formed into one 60 minute performance of organised chaos,” Stockdale said.

Excited to be coming back to the South West, Stockdale refers to it as a “parallel universe of untapped possibilities” from his experiences performing here in the past.
