Wolfmother & Heartless Bastards @ MHOW - pics & setlist

the first album was good and their live show was amazing, but this time around they have lost something.

I'm pretty sure they lost most of the original band.

"Such was the attractive canvas..."

"The milk of rock-god showmanship was in abundance that evening.."

You're killing me with this writing. i had to stop reading after "Nor did it overshadow..."

yeah, that was quite a bit of writing for one band.
and how are they not gonna play "Pyramid"?

wolfMEHther

wow. moshing. how boring.

@ Anon 2:53pm, you should probably stick to reading children's books and playing with colored pencils.

seems like a lot of room on the floor. was it not sold out ?

Really great photos and even better writing - diggin' the hell outta this kinda professionalism in the BV ring. haters to the left; let's welcome any sort talent here.

unless @2:53 has a better idea for generating accountability in the online music world. oh right, you're posting as ANON.

stone thrower, meet glass house.

Dear Benjamin Lozovsky.

Please stop. You sound absolutely ridiculous.

Thank you.

dope photos...and i actually liked the words. it's quality writing.

How about a little love for the Heartless Bastards? Even the Wolfmother fans standing near me who "ordinarily don't dig chick rockers" were amazed by the singer's voice and virtuosity. They sounded awesome and their 3 albums are amazing -- they deserve to be headliners somewhere someday.

That being said, nice writeup on Wolfmother -- they are what they are, but do an awesome job at what they do. More entertaining than I imagined before seeing the show!

Whatshername from the Heartless Bastards looks 20 years older than when I saw them in 2006.

BUMPER STICKER IDEA

WOLFMOTHER: GIVING DUDES IN BUTTONLESS SPORTS COATS A REASON TO SLAMDANCE SINCE WHENEVER THE FUCK THIS SHITTY BAND LANDED ON EARTH

AMIRITE?

long winded? definitely... Better than most of the writing on here? For the most part... Maybe find a middle ground for the people who cant speak too good or read words properly, like people who like Chromeo... After all, any experienced editor/writer knows that making oneself sound smarter than everyone else doesn't make the writing very accessible....

im living proof. i like chromeo...and i hate reading.

but i think it's "who cant speak too well."

I'm not trying to be a hater. I felt I should be honest. And in this instance does it matter who I am? I'm not saying someone did drugs right before a set.

I couldn't read any more of it. The wording didn't work. How am I a "stone thrower", should I have to include my senior thesis to make a justified comment on someone's writing.

and either way julian, suck a dick and mind your fucking business

Wolfmother....music for stupid people.

"Maybe find a middle ground for the people who cant speak too good"

PRICELESS. Way to put that idiot in his place.

Truth is complaining about the writing on this blog or most blogs is like complaining about the food at Denny's. Cmon now, the guy(s) who run this blog aren't educated writers. They are music loving schlubs who happen to find themselves at the top of the cesspool music blogosphere. Are you really coming here for the prose? That being said, this Benjamin guy really takes the award for worst. This is bad English 101 "look at me i can use flowery descriptions" type of writing. Seriously, if you do not realize his writing is laughable at best may i suggest you check out the writings of people like Greil Marcus, Nick Kent and Jon Savage to name a few.

The prose is very overdone. & in the service of Wolfmother no less. But that said, I'd *much* rather read something passionate & over-reaching than something detached & irony-laden. Keep it up dude.

Look at the pics from the show and it is easy to see why such a piece of writing came from the night. Everyone was pretty into it!

If you are going to post to ask someone to stop writing a certain way can we PLEASE start with those that feel the need to place "Meh" into every single band name that is featured on BV! I have had quite enough of that totally unoriginal cop out.

Well-written review! And lovely photos.

THIS GUY?:

i hate life

question

if the 2 original members of your band leave... why on earth would you hire 3 more member w/ 1 of them being the twin brother of the lead singer?

4:55 yeah that idiot and why do you hate your life? Because he got three semi attractive girls to pose in a picture with him. He probably does not even know them or is their gay best friend. As for the writing, he went to American. Nuff Said.

What is even better is that after i posted at 4:36, a few more idiots wrote telling him to keep up the good writing. I am gonna go out on a short limb and guess they are friends of his.

Just a note though. Just because you went to a great show which everyone was into and you are passionate about it does not excuse the fact that you cannot fucking write for shit.

Kerri MEHsse

i don't want to hate but that writing is awful. submit your work to a high school paper or a zine already. keep your aggrandizing poetry to yourself. like poetry, it's beautiful and charming to the creator but annoying and irritating for everyone else.

sarcasm is wasted on the stupid... of course it's well ass, i get paid to write, do you get paid to be a tool?

I get paid to fuck chicks in the ass

if you get paid to write, you must be starving. need a dollar or writing classes?

dude probably stayed up til 6 in the morning and spent all day editing the post. give him a break!

ha

what the beetles/hairy crishnu dude?

"i get paid to write, do you get paid to be a tool?"

your skills and $2 will get you a cup of coffee ... almost.

oh were oh where is lester bangs when you need him

since when was carrot top in wolfmother?

are we talking about writing or music? you guys sound like the jerks in a writing workshop... it's only rock and roll, son...

the grammar is off

Bro-hemia

@ anon 10:45
word!

isnt this a weird bill to anyone else? mid 70s cock rock with soulful indie band? If Wolfmother singer guitarist replaced the whole band, he'd have something in common with Heartless Bastards, whos singer guitarst has done the same thing two or three times

I went to Oxford University. Yes, that one. I'm not trying to one up anybody, but I'm quite certain I'm not stupid. I had a cracking time at the Wolfmother gig, they're a band for people that enjoy heavy rock, and like to have a good time. There is nothing to ponder, but there is plenty to love. It was a fantastic show, and the audience responded in kind.

As for the writing, it seems to be in the same vein as the band, over the top, and entertaining. Bravo author, the world needs more like you.

Elitist trolls, pick up your Animal Collective limited edition pipe, which is leaning up against your vintage, but recently unused, Patti Smith 'Horses' Lp, and smoke it.

p.s I have never studied writing, so feel free to lay into my syntax as your cold little heart desires...

p.p.s Seeking out things, or people, with the sole purpose of being rude, is no way to live your life. Let other be happy in peace.

douchy bands

Word!

you know there is a human being behind those words...

hb's are starfuckers and social climbers. the bill was totally fitting.
