Went to see the insanely entertaining Wolfmother at the PNE Forum last night. I was a little worried at first, since the opening band, quite frankly, sucked and the sound was pretty awful. I needn't have worried though; the sound got a lot better (for the PNE Forum that is) and Wolfmother put on a good old-fashioned, crowd-pleasing rock concert. The guy has an incredible rock god voice, and though you can hear their influences (Led Zep, AC/DC, Deep Purple, etc) peppered all through their songs, they still have a powerful original sound. The show lost a little momentum about three quarters through with a little self indulgent Pink Floydesque wankfest, but it built up quite nicely to a great finale, ending with the great 'Joker and the Thief'.
As their website says, 'The true rebirth of the power trio is upon us.' Whoa.
Because you can never have enough songs about unicorns, here's a cleverly 'defaced' version of White Unicorn. Clearly done by the kind of guy who used to draw penises in his schoolbooks when he was a kid. I like the part where the drummer starts drumming with fish.
