Wolfmother is an Australian hard rock band from Erskineville, Sydney. The band consists of Andrew Stockdale (vocals/guitar), Chris Ross (bass/keyboards) and Myles Heskett (drums). Reviving trends popularized by psychedelia and hard rock/metal fusions, their music is inspired by bands such as AC/DC, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.
Their self titled debut album went 3x platinum in Australia peaking at #3. It also made #25 in the US and #22 in the UK. So far it has produced the hits "Mind's Eye", "White Unicorn" and "Woman".
Wolfmother achieved a record breaking six songs in the influential 2005 Triple J Hottest 100, with "Mind's Eye" their highest entry at #6. This breaks the record of five songs previously held by Queens of the Stone Age, Silverchair, The White Stripes, and Powderfinger.
Wolfmother's new single is "Joker & the Thief". It has become their first Australian Top 10 hit when it debuted at #8 last week.
Wolfmother recently shot a music video for Joker & the Thief. The video also features members of the Jackass cast and has been used to promote Jackass: Number Two. The music video is below.
