Wolfmother to Kick Off New Moon Rising Tour in September

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 marvellous 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, which will be released in October, 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, who are also part of the Gibson family, 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.
