Wolfmother: New Moon Rising Tour September 2009

Toby Smith — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 04:38:18 +0000

It’s been too long, but Wolfmother are to come hurtling back into the hearts and heads of one and all in September, courtesy of the national New Moon Rising Tour.

Wolfmother come fresh off a jetplane from Los Angeles, beholding a weighty behemoth of a 2nd record, Cosmic Egg, in their palms, and more ready than ever to tear open the minds of the masses and let their newfound magic and melody medicine swim within.

The now 4 piece will take a lap of Australia to reveal the contents of their new wonderbeast, showcasing a mostly new suite of Wolfmother material, with a healthy handful of their marvelous self-titled debut thrown in.

The tour will kick off at The Tivoli in Brisbane on Thursday September 17 and wrap up on Saturday September 26 in Frankston, Victoria, stopping in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne in between.

Cosmic Egg was recorded over a 2-month period in Los Angeles with heralded UK producer Alan Moulder. A record that’s at once a darker shade of night at one end of the sonic spectrum and a euphoric light of day at the other, it’s one that’s set to translate to a life affirming live experience.
Supports for the tour come in the shape of fresh-faced Brisbane rockers Yves Klein Blue and recent Australian Music Prize winner, Sydney troubadour Jack Ladder.

Tickets go on-sale Friday Jul 17, and each ticket sold will grant the bearer a free introductory membership into the new Wolfmother official fanclub, The Wolfies.

The triumphant return of Wolfmother has arrived – in the shape of a rollicking behemoth of timeless rock n roll, Back Round.

Available for all and sundry for download now from wolfmother.com, Back Round is the first tangible snapshot into the cosmos of Wolfmother’s second album.

A liberating avalanche of skull-crushing drums and primal riffing, Back Round represents a joyous evolution for the Australian band following on from their 2006 self-titled debut.

In lieu of cash payment for the new track, Wolfmother are encouraging fans to put their money in a righteous place and donate to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal at redcross.org.au

Back Round was debuted to an international audience just last Friday when the band closed the MTV Australia Music Awards in Sydney in electrifying fashion.

On April 17 the performance will be aired across 62 MTV channels and 162 countries in Europe, Asia, America and Canada on MTV’s World Stage programming.

Following the performance Wolfmother took off to LA to record the remainder of the sophomore set with acclaimed UK producer Alan Moulder, the results of which are set to surface later in the year.
