Wolfmother competition #1

June 1, 2008

Well if you visit this and other Wolfmother sites regularly, you’ll be aware that it’s pretty quiet at the moment and everyone is getting antsy about when the new album will come out. After that brief period of excitement when the band performed some new songs, and we unearthed an old little-heard song, it’s back to “when is the new album coming out?”.

To relieve some of the impatience, I’m going to hold a series of competitions over coming weeks and months with some great prizes. One of them was going to be “guess correctly the date the new Wolfmother album will be released” - but the way things are going that might be a while before we could confirm a winner! So instead here’s one that will run for a week from today with a guaranteed winner.

Prize: Two picture ‘promo’ CDs. Dimension & Love Train.
Wolfmother Promo CDs

To enter: Tell me in the comments below the exact length of the Dimension (original not radio edit) track as written on the back of this promo CD. Note that this may or may not differ from the track length you will find on Wikipedia, Google etc! To give you a clue, it is written as follows:

DIMENSION - ORIGINAL (04:XX)

You need to tell me what the XX equals. If there’s more than one correct answer I will pick a winner at random. Remember to include your email address so I can get in touch with the winner (it will not be used for any other purpose).

Good luck!

Happy Birthday me!

April 1, 2008

Well, this site, technically! I can’t believe that it’s already two years ago that this site was born, and almost that for the forums. It’s was an exciting time putting together such a site because I’ve never done anything similar before, and when people actually started visiting I was over the moon. We now have hundreds of people a day visiting the main site and more frequenting the forums, even though news from the band has been non-existent for some time now. I know you are all dying to know when the new album is coming out, well so am I!

Over the last two years, we’ve had various pieces of news about the band, tour updates, verification of song lyrics, and the odd rumour or two (which alas have tended to be untrue).

The Wolfmother Forums have gradually grown from the initial few members to now just under 750, with 1,473 threads and 68,583 posts.

The site has had a couple of redesigns during that time, as have the forums, but I think it’s time for another and I am currently developing a new main site that hopefully will launch in coming weeks.

Also coming up very soon is a competition with some great prizes! Or rather, a series of competitions, maybe - I haven’t decided yet. Complete the poll below to express your preference. The prizes include things like tshirts, the EP, vinyl, CDs, postcards, etc.

Finally, thanks to you all for visiting and being part of the Wolfmother community. Here’s to another two years (by which time the new album might have been released!).
