Wolfmother Tour With The Killers Before Releasing New Album
Cosmic Egg, On October 13
 Wolfmother |
The Australian rock outlaws that comprise Wolfmother are back together – minus two founding members – ready to release a new body of work and spend some time on the road. The band will preview new material on the road this summer, with a run of shows alongside The Killers. For the six shows in support of The Killers the Aussies will unveil new songs they’ve spent months recording in L.A.
Fans in L.A. can experience the whole album set to mind-blowing visuals on July 27 at the Laserium CyberTheater at the historic Vine Theater in Hollywood. Wolfmother also plays August 22 at KROQ’s Epicenter ’09 festival at the Fairplex at Pomona in California.
The Grammy-winning four-piece recently dropped teaser track “Back Round” on iTunes, MySpace.com/wolfmother and wolfmother.com. Wolfmother is also opening for AC/DC on its “Black Ice Tour,” beginning in February in 2010. The down-under tour sold out faster than any other tour in the Australia’s history.
Led by hirsute shredder Andrew Stockdale, the band cooked Cosmic Egg for three years, taking time to lock in a permanent lineup and build on the self-titled album that gave the world the insta-classic and much overplayed track “Woman.” Wolfmother recorded over the course of two months with heralded U.K. producer Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins, The Killers, My Bloody Valentine). His sweeping and storied career as an iconic record-maker coupled with Wolfmother’s immortal song craft add up to nothing short of a truly enjoyable listen.
Wolfmother plans to headline a U.S. tour after the album’s release later this year.

THE MOTLEY ONES EXPAND SECOND ANNUAL ROAD FEST
|
|
CrueCrue Fest 2 has announced a partnership with Monster Energy to add an additional stage at most dates on this year’s festival. The new Monster Energy Stage doubles the entertainment value at Crue Fest 2 with five additional bands – Rev Theory, Cavo, Shram and 16 Second Stare plus one band chosen locally in select markets, showcasing the next generation of rock. With no change in ticket prices, rock fans will now see ten great rock bands for the price of one. For the cost of a Mötley Crue concert, fans will see a day long rock festival with Mötley as the headliners. Crue Fest 2 kicks off in Camden, NJ on July 19 (full tour dates here).
Crue Fest 2 stars Mötley Crue with Godsmack, Theory of a Deadman, Drowning Pool and introduces Charm City Devils. The performances on the Monster Energy Stage will be staggered between the main stage acts creating a non-stop music event and adding to the overall festival atmosphere.
“It’s always been in our hearts to turn our fans onto new rock music. Another stage seems to be just what the doctor ordered for Crue Fest 2 and gives loyal Crue and rock fans more for their hard earned money. See ya there,” said Mötley Crue.
As a tribute to releasing a 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition of Dr. Feelgood earlier this year, Mötley Crue will be performing the entire album front to back at this year’s festival in addition to their hits.
Check out the JamBase review of Crue’s new album from last year, which we dug!
