6/7/12 Wolfmother + Turbowolf @ Indigo2, London.
A broken down van couldn't stop Bristol quartet Turbowolf from playing this evening, eager to share their own brand of psychadelic electronic metal with the London crowd. The band have been touring the same material for the last five years and finally released their debut album last year to much critical acclaim, seeing the band have singles played on Radio 1 and playing shows all over the continent.
The late arrival tonight didn't allow enough time to perfect the sound quality, but Chris Georgiadis led the set [along with his usual outrageous shirt] with old fan favourites 'Read and Write' and 'Ancient Snake' along with newer tracks 'Bag O Bones' and 'Roses For The Crows'. With seismic riffs and exciting live shows, the band are certainly looking an exciting prospect (8).
"Hello Knebworth", Andrew Stockdale jokes to the Indigo2 crowd, as the Australian band open their Sonisphere replacement show. After several lineup changes and label set backs, Wolfmother now tour as a five-piece and still [despite their worldwide success] only have two albums to their name. Even though 7 years have passed since their debut self-titled record, 'Wolfmother' still dominates the setlist with punters hearing hits 'Woman', 'Joker & the Thief', and 'Dimension' amongst others. A musically excellent performance clearly attracts an older demographic to Wolfmother shows, expecting a real Rock and Roll concert.
Wolfmother approach their live appearances as a band with 25 years of experience, and boasting 6 albums behind them would. An impressive 2 hour performance for a band with just 2 albums, but more material will definitely cut out any filler songs during the middle of the set.
7/10
