Wolfmother Bataclan Show

Jeremy and I caught the almighty Wolfmother at our neighborhood music venue La Bataclan on monday night. I caught a Wolfmother show in Oklahoma about three years ago so I knew we were in for a full on rock show but I really had no idea.

Alright, you watched the above video, now imagine that times 100. The energy level at the Paris gig was off the charts. They kicked off the show with Dimension and ended the encore with Joker and the Thief and rocked the entire time in between. Andrew, the singer/guitarist, mentioned several times that this was the best show of the tour and twice said that they should play Paris every three months.

French crowds still surprise me, this show saw all the elements of a midwest rock show; lots of leather jackets, mosh pits and crowd surfers. I guess i'm all ways expecting the crowds here to be quiet and fairly reserved like the Montreal audiences.

Ryan has the vodeos from the Wolfmother show posted on youtube. You can see all of them here.


Warning:
Hard rock may make you pretend to fight.
And it may cause you to eat pancakes and burgers in one meal.

Wolfmother/ Cain's Tulsa, Ok

I spent a few days in Tulsa, Oklahoma last week and was able to catch Wolfmother at my favorite venue, The Cain's Ballroom. Wolfmother is a much louder and harder rocking band then i've been out to see in quite some time. I wasn't expecting too much from the show but was thoroughly blown away by the power of Wolfmother. While they don't have an extensive catalog to draw on they had a commanding presence on stage and sounded great. The pictures below say a lot.
You know you are going to be rocked when a band brings out a double necked guitar. That afro was made to be rocked back and forth in time to heavy Rock and Roll.
Yes sir, that is a Gibson flying V and it is rocking.
What's more rock than a flying kick from the bass drum? You can tell that this is the encore because the jacket has come off.
All in all this was the best hard rock show that i've been to in years. Try to catch this band if you can, they have a power and intensity that you've got to experience live. I won't even bitch about the $30 t-shirts because i'm sure they are using the money to buy more rocking guitars.
Hopefully Ryan will post some of the videos that he shot.
