CONCERT REVIEW: Wolfmother @ Electric Factory, Nov. 6

Wow.

Seeing Wolfmother live is evidence that modern recording technology has not yet caught up with the sonic force produced by frontman Andrew Stockdale's vocal cords and his quiver of Gibsons.

With last month's release of their new album Cosmic Egg and a whole new cast of characters in the band, Stockdale was just as excited to be there as the rest of the amped-up, sweaty crowd. He came out with his fists pumping and fingers pointing at the moshing mob, eventually diving in with his guitar and reclining overhead in their outstretched arms.

The new bandies couldn't have rocked any harder. Watching Ian Peres operate his bass/keyboard combo with every limb on his body was a show on its own. The set made me want to run home and rip up 'Woman' on Guitar Hero, but not before the acoustic encore of' Kate Bush cover "Wuthering Heights," which helped mellow out the pack of rabid fans.
