Competition time!
December 14, 2011 by Jimmy/i
Hello people!
Well, things are starting to pick up! The band are on an Australian tour, Dave’s back in the band, fellow members are meeting the band, and more importantly information on the new album is starting to surface. So, I thought I feel like giving someone some free stuff!
So I imagine you are wondering what on Earth I can offer you that’s going to get you interested… how about a Wolfmother goody bag? This will include a Wolfmother bag, a shirt, a hoody, stickers, buttons, a keyring, and (my favourite) a SIGNED COPY OF COSMIC EGG! Yes, a signed copy! All courtesy of Wolfmother themselves!
To win this exciting prize, all I want is for you to post what you would name the third album! The best ones will be selected by the moderation team, and then put into a hat and selected at random. Submit your answer as a comment below, and remember to leave your email address so we can contact you!
The competition will close dead on 2012, so 12 midnight January 1st, UK time.
Good luck, and all the best!

Wolfmother to appear on ZZ Top tribute album
August 24, 2011 by Andre
Back in November last year, we reported that Wolfmother had contributed to an unknown tribute album. The news has been revealed in the last few days that the album is a tribute to Texan blues rock trio ZZ Top, due to be released in October this year.
The eleven-song collection, entitled A Tribute from Friends, is due to be released on October 11, 2011, and features covers from a wide range of artists including Nickelback, Mastodon, and even Wyclef Jean.
Wolfmother’s contribution is a cover of “Cheap Sunglasses”, a single originally released in 1980 from the album Degüello. The song will be the fifth track on the album, after Nickelback’s cover of “Legs” and before “Got Me Under Pressure” by Duff McKagan’s Loaded.
Third album: preliminary details
June 3, 2011 by Andre
A few early details regarding Wolfmother’s upcoming third album have been obtained by a fan who was lucky enough to speak to the band backstage at a recent gig. Wolfmother.net moderator Jimmi was at the June 1st gig in London, England, and met Stockdale and co. before and after the gig to have a sneaky discussion about the currently untitled follow-up to 2009′s Cosmic Egg.
Writing on the forums, Jimmi explained that the third album is completely recorded and mixed, with just “a few vocal touch up[s] needed”. The album will apparently comprise 12 tracks and be released in approximately three months, indicating a September 2011 release. As for the new songs, Jimmi claims that he has heard a total of five unreleased tracks: two in soundcheck, two in the live set, and another backstage after the gig; he praised the new direction, noting that the songs had “good thumping riffs” and were “really catchy”.
A quick search on YouTube brings up a couple of indications as to the new material, including a song being referred to as “The Year of the Dragon” and another song for which the title is as yet unknown. Another video floating around from the gig shows the band covering a portion of the Led Zeppelin classic “Stairway to Heaven“. It is unknown when this new material will see the light of day, but it seems that the band are ready to release it some time before the end of the year (save for any trademark delays, of course).
Wolfmother to return to the UK
