Wolfmother is an Australian hard rock band that formed in Erskineville, Sydney in 2000. Originally comprising vocalist and guitarist Andrew Stockdale, bassist and keyboardist Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett, the band has released one studio album – Wolfmother (2005) – which reached number three on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart. The album also won the 2005 J Award and ARIA Awards for Best Breakthrough Album and Best Rock Album in 2006. "Woman", a single from the album, won the band their first Grammy Award, for Best Hard Rock Performance, in 2007. In August 2008, co-founding members Ross and Heskett left the band due to "irreconcilable personal and musical differences," though Stockdale stated that he would continue using the Wolfmother moniker with new members in the future. After a brief hiatus, Stockdale returned with new musicians: guitarist Aidan Nemeth, bassist and keyboardist Ian Peres and drummer Dave Atkins. The new lineup's first album, Cosmic Egg is set to be released October 13, 2009 [show less]
