CosmicVan — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:11:00 GMT

Back into Dallas. Last time we were here we barely had time to get into the Lower Greenville area due to a tight time schedule. This time we went to an AC/DC show. We posted the van up in the parking lot to meet some fans before. We tailgated with a dude named Russell (not in the pictures to the left). He was really ready to party. So we hung out and I got him some gear for his 13 year old daughter who is one of those super music enthusiasts. She was a big fan of WM from rock band. Russell said he'd make sure to get her the new WM album now that it's out. Then we went into the AC/DC show. They may be in there 60's but they are rock and roll. Angus Young played so hard we were all joking about the idea of him having "rock and roll on an IV drip backstage before the show".

Back in The Big Easy. This time, it was for Voodoo fest. It might not be quite as big as ACL, but it's in New Orleans...and on Halloween. Unfortunately it was raining the first night...hard. The grounds sold out of ponchos and the demand was so big people were selling them off their backs for five times what they were worth. The second day though, everything opened up and it was an amazing day. Wolfmother played at 6:20, which is a heavy-hitter slot at Voodoo. In the morning we hollered at people as they were headed into the grounds. And, as you can imagine there were some hard core fans. One guy just kept saying "eleven eleven 05". Eventually I asked him why. He said that was the last time he saw WM perform. He could have been totally insane, but who cares. Why kill his buzz. So I shouted it with him for a bit and encouraged him to go see the shows. From there we went in to hype some people for the show. Didn't take much work since a lot of fans were already hyped, but it was fun never the less. At 3:30 I went to the media section and got to meet the band. Anyways, off to Dallas!

Some of the nicest people in Greensboro. And loyal fans, too. Right when we pulled up we met a unique family who was partying extra hard in tribute for a family member who couldn't make it to the concert. It was one of the only times the kids were going to get to play ON a car, so we got Jacob on the roof and took a good shot. That's me on the roof with him. I told them I'd put it on the blog and, as promised, here it is. Met lots of other great fans in Greensboro. A group of dudes from a cover band came by. Turns out they love covering some of the Wolfmother tracks from the old album and have pre-ordered the new one. The promised the posters were going up in their practice room. Great to meet you guys!

The cosmic van's next stop was the Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn New York. One of the coolest private venues I've been to in a while. It was equal parts venue, bowling alley and restaurant. The real hook though, was that all three parts were awesome in their own right. The venue had an awesome line up from CMJ (New York Music and Film Festival), the bowling alley was set off by the sounds of the venue below and the restaurant had amazing food. If you know Brooklyn at all, then you realize that it has perfected hipster. The best-looking, angstiest, curiously-tight-jacket-wearing hipsters I've ever seen.

Surprisingly enough though, we found some real die-hard Wolfmother fans. To the left is Jones - an Australan born New Yorker who kept saying "11-7- 2005". Turns out that's the last time he saw Wolfmother in concert. It took me a minute to figure that out. We also met Liz, a computer repair saleswoman-turned-dominatrix and Serg, a Russian-born Brooklyn music fan who insisted on putting on the Wolfmother shirt immediately. It was a mixed bag, folks.

Rolling Stone
****
“If AC and DC had a baby, Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother would be their rock & roll problem child. Cosmic Egg is wilder earthier, and freakier than the band’s 2006 debut. There isn’t a boring moment.”

Kerrang!
KKKK
“Wolfmother have exceeded expectation. Almost every track contains something fresh and off-kilter while remaining immediate and throat-grabbing at the same time.”

The bell does toll, the train has pulled into the station and thy day hath arrived, Cosmic Egg, the triumphant 2nd album by Wolfmother, is out today and available at all friendly physical and cyber retailers.

Preceded by the ripping first single "New Moon Rising," the 12 track album is now available in an array of wondrous formats. You can pick up a copy of Cosmic Egg as a standard 12 track CD, a deluxe 16 track digipak CD, double gatefold vinyl with mp3 download and of course, as a 16 track deluxe digitally through iTunes. If that isn’t enough for you, there will be a lush box set to follow in the new year.

Cosmic Egg represents a giant leap forward for Wolfmother from their self-titled debut record and a bold step into the unknown. Shamelessly running the gauntlet of heaviosity from melancholic, piano-led laments to thundering heaving rock, Cosmic Egg shows reveals every colour in the Wolfmother rainbow as a vivid, blindingly good time.

COSMIC VAN: Transmission 16 - The City Of Wolfmother-ly Love | News

CosmicVan — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:09:00 GMT

We passed through downtown Philadelphia on Tuesday, grabbed a hotel in Cherry Hill NJ and had a few minutes to kill before the David Cross show. I decided to cruise around and wound up in Hannonfield, NJ - just east of Camden. I was hoping to find some interesting keepsakes for friends, some post cards and a proper meal. An hour later I had nothing in my hands except some leftover Chinese. Later we headed into Downtown Philly for the David Cross show at the Merriam Theater. As always, we parked near the venue on Broad street and hollered at some Wolfmother fans as they cruised by, waiting for their dose of David Cross. The next night we headed to the nearby Wachovia center for the AC/DC show. We met some super cool Wolfmother fans, and heard some great stories too. One group had bumped into AC/DC singer Brian Johnson eating dinner the night before. He told the group he'd set some tickets aside for them, and amazingly enough, they were actually at will call. The whole group were clearly now lifelong AC?DC fans. We got some group photos with our new friends and gave them all some much loved Wolfmother merch, but had to move on. Right about then we got asked to leave the parking lot for the second time by security, so we figured it was a good time to leave. I guess they can't all be Wolfmother fans, right?

It was a fall night, and Metallica was in the air. There was a steady stream of metalheads driving into town and we got a lot of shout outs. Before we headed to the Metallica the show we tried to get to the 17th St Farmer's Market for Shocktoberfest. Unfortunately, the venue changed, and nobody told us. Cosmic van fail. We stopped into a local coffee shop for directions and they'd never even heard of 17th St. So, yeah. We got a great tour of the awesome UVA campus but we never made it to Shocktoberfest (if it exists...). Our apologies to anyone who went driving around based off of our tweets. The show was at John Paul Jones arena, which is impressive all by itself. Granted, he's a rock and roll legend, but wow... they named a college venue after the guy. So we met some great fans as usual and had a great time. Gotta go now, cause I promised like ten people that I'd send them their group photo. Peace!

It was another rainy night as we made our way though Washington D.C. to the Verizon center for the AC/DC concert. It had been a while since I drove in Washington, so I was pretty excited. Usually, the drive is a nightmare, but this time we added the rain and a 78 Volkswagon Camper to the mix, making it even more interesting. We still had a good time and got to meet some great fans. A family from Philadelphia drove down to catch the van since they were going to be gone during our Philly stop. We were very honored and they were excited about getting some awesome Wolfmother gear. We also ran into Gary from Jerrabomberra. I had such a hard time spelling the name of the city that I had to mention it in the blog. With the weather and threat of wicked traffic, we decided to stay outside of Washington, before we made our way to Charlottesville. Onward, through the fog!

CosmicVan — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:05:00 GMT

Pulled into Ann Arbor late late on Tuesday night. After checking into a nearby hotel, I headed to the downtown area to see if there was anything cracking. I needed dinner and thought i might find some Wolfmother fans to say hi to. Although the charming, but sleepy town was pretty empty, some fans hollered at me while I was parking. Mike and Nick are big fans and they had walked with me four blocks towards my dinner spot before I realized that they were actually headed the wrong way. Great people in Ann Arbor. The next day I headed to downtown Ann Arbor and then to the Michigan Campus. That evening I headed to the Mike Doughty show on Main street and, again, met some people who came yelling up to the van at a stop light. I hooked them up with some merch. The guys were so excited they insisted I stop in at a place called O'Malley's to meet their wives. I did and we had a blast telling stories from the road. Again, great people in Ann Arbor (it's nothing like Detroit) But couldn't stay. Had to move on that night, headed for Cleveland.

Oh, Cleveland. "The Cleve" as I call it. On the way there we met Kyle, Amanda and Mitch at a gas station in Elyria. I got out of the van and Mitch goes, "aren't you supposed to be in Cleveland?" and I'm like "what are you, my manager?". Kidding - I was so impressed with his knowledge of the van touring I told them I'd put them on the web site immediately. You can see them pictured with the caption "superfans in elyria". Then, in Cleveland - Metallica was playing and the fans were PUMPED. We got their super early to try to catch some of the tailgate fun. The show was in downtown and it was raining, so a traditional tailgate was out. But the nearest pub was so packed with fans that it was clearly the substitute. We posted up near the venue and caught the Wolfmother fans as they were coming and going. As always, we met a lot of great fans, but one stood out. Cameron had her mom drive around for two hours around Cleveland looking for the van. By the time they found us she was about out of breath. Not sure if it was from running or excitement, but I choose to think of it as excitement. She came with a Wolfmother t-shirt on, but we got her a new one. She said if we would "put her on the transmission report it would be, like, unbelievable". So, as promised Cameron, here you are. The superfan award goes to you...

We started our night in Chicago by popping over to Reckless Records on Broadway. I'm actually over at Argo Tea, across the street as I'm writing, enjoying the best tea in Chicago. After hitting up Reckless we went over to Delilahs (a solid local pub near by) and then over to the Metro. It was 34 degrees with Chicago wind, but we still managed to find ourselves some Wolfmother fans. Unfortunately, even a cosmic van needs service, so we had to get it to the shop. By this point in the trip, we've covered 13 states, hit 10 cities and traveled a staggering 4,300 miles. Turns out no vehicle can keep that pace forever. Well, off to the mechanic. We'll update you from Ann Arbor in the next couple of days. Peace!

We pulled into Champaign, Illinois for the University of Illinois homecoming weekend. The whole town was full of orange-wearing happy midwestern families. If you've been following the blog, you know that I'm from the midwest myself, so if felt a lot like home. Except for the weather...32 degrees. Ouch. We headed down to the campus strip- Green Street was surprisingly cool. Found out there are a lot of Wolfmother fans in Champaign. They were hollering, so, of course we hooked them up with some t-shirts and posters. The buttons are also a big hit for the hoodie-wearing areas of the country. The next morning we headed to Memorial Stadium for the homecoming football game against Michigan State. You'll notice that the fans were very excited after tailgating extremely early in the morning. Unfortunately, Illinois got stomped. After the game we cruised around through the crowd just to show off the van. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay long. Riot Fest was starting in Chicago and we had to get up there to spread the Wolfmother love!

Last night we drove out to Columbia Missouri for the Missouri Tiger's home game against Nebraska Cornhuskers. Dylan and I had some great fun tailgating with fans from both teams. On occasion they were tailgating together. A mixed group. Very taboo. But we didn't even get to set up our tailgate before we had people hitting up the van for Wolfmother gear. Unfortunately, it was pouring. And I'm not talking about rain. I'm talking about a flash flood warning was in effect. You'll notice in the photos that Dylan and I have on Mizzou rain gear. It looks like we got adopted. After the game, started we headed to a local Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the game and warm up, cause we were soaked to the knees. Unfortunately Missouri's defense ran out of gas and the Cornhuskers rallied for 27 points in the fourth quarter, stealing the win from our new tailgating friends. But hey, I'm from Kansas. What do I care?
