Wolfmother announce a gig!

That’s right. Believe it or not, there is some news regarding our beloved band! For the first time since the ‘split‘, there are plans for a gig.

News from Australia is that Wolfmother will headline the Clipsal 500 evening entertainment schedule, rocking the stage on Friday 22 March 2009. Yes that is a looong time away, but hey, it means that there is a band to headline! Which means that there is very likely to be a band right now, though of course we don’t know what the lineup looks like …

By way of background, he Clipsal 500 is a four day motorsport event that is expected to attract crowds of up to 300,000. Races include a variety of car types, from V8 supercars to Porsche Carreras.

But it’s the evening entertainment that has me and many others interested. Not only will Wolfmother headline, but also The Living End, Pete Murray and Lee Kernaghan. The full ‘2009 Jim Beam TrackSounds On-Circuit Concert Series’ is as follows:

• Thursday, 19 March, 2009 – The Living End, Gyroscope, The Butterfly Effect and The Potbelleez, presented by Nova 91.9.
• Friday, 20 March, 2009 – Nova 91.9 presents Pete Murray, Faker and Operator Please.
• Saturday, 21 March, 2009 – Lee Kernaghan, Beccy Cole and The McClymonts, presented by FIVEaa.
• Sunday, 22 March, 2009 – Wolfmother and The Getaway Plan, presented by Mix 102.3.

Hopefully, as one forum member put it, “the snowball has started rolling” and we’ll start to get some more news out of the band and their management.

Another N. Australia gig in Darwin

After playing Bass in the Grass a couple of weeks ago (by the way, anyone go? I’ve seen no news, no pics, no nothing!! Come on you NTers, give us the goss!), the band are heading back to Darwin for another gig next month.

They are playing at the Race and Rock concert (interesting concept!) which tags on to the end of hte 11th v8 Supercar Championship series at Hidden Valley Raceway. There’s even a free bus from the between the races and the concerts.

Tickets are available at Australia Post Offices around Darwin, or from www.ntmajorevents.com.au.

As great as another gig is, I wish the band or their management would just give us some news about the new album, it’s starting to just annoy everyone not hearing anything!

New gig, San Diego, Jul 27; recent interview, no album news

Yup, another date to add to the diary. Wolfmother will be playing at Concerts on the Green , San Diego (CA, USA) on July 27th - supporting Stone Temple Pilots along with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 2nd, from AEG Live.

Andrew also gave the band’s first interview since last summer on Australian TV this weekend. Unfortunately no news on the album, but you can watch the interview on YouTube here.

Another gig date - Darwin May 24

Well things are really kicking off on the news front, with yet another date announced for a festival appearance.

Wolfmother will appear at the BASSINTHEGRASS festival to be held in Darwin, Australia, on Saturday May 24. Other confirmed acts include Powderfinger, Hilltop Hoods, Gyroscope, Potbelleez, The Audreys, Mammal and Hercules in NY.

Online ticket sales are currently not available via the site, but there is a telephone number if you can’t wait for that to be fixed.

Guess I better start updating the Wolfmother Tour Dates page again!

Another gig date announced

Well it seems that the band have indeed come to life in recent times (or at least their management have …).

Given that the Andy Warhol gig is more of a special one-off, this could be classified as the first confirmed actual tour date this year.  Interesting that it’s in Canada, which, no offence to the Canucks, wouldn’t have been my first guess as the location of their first tour gig! 

So the speculation continues … new album before the Warhol gig … before the Pemberton gig … or …
