Wolfmother

Modular leaned into something else.

They would sign bands like Tame Impala, Cut Copy and Wolfmother.

It would be this heady mix of rock, dance and cool.

It's the story for someone else's podcast, as well as the way the label seemed to crash in the end with lawsuits in 2016.

Oh.

And that was Wolf Mother when they came out.

Oh, yeah.

With Miles.

It's Dave Grohl saying, here's a part of me I've not given you.

I need you to see this.

I think it's a trap for a lot of artists You know, Percy mentioned Wolf Mother earlier.

I liked them when they came out.

Throughout the weekend.

Wolf Mother,

Pennywise

in NHL 06, and Living Color who's right after us.

What about

Powderfinger? Who's a big Aussie band at the moment? Wolfmother.

I don't know.

Yeah,

Wolfmother.

He's got like Gang of Yous.

Gang of Yous could be cool.

But maybe that's not, like, quite a footy crowd.

Uh, from, from a purely, like, empathetic perspective, I feel like let's get Wolfmother in.

You know, like, those dudes are living, like, hand to mouth off the royalties from, like, you know, their songs in the background of sports montages for the last decade.

So let's get them, let's get them to have a crack.

... 'cause I think it's hilarious.

First of all, uh, y- Dom asked, "Who is Wolfmother?" [laughs] 'Cause if you don't know, Gary Jay comes out to Joker and the Thief.

Uh-

Yeah, I don't even wanna listen to it

Yeah.

To save the Sydney music scene, we need to introduce zoning legislation where if you're going to build a high-rise, you've got to have a DIY venue in the basement, and there should be live bands playing at the dog track every Friday, and also we need to break the fucking hegemony of Wolfmother's Jerker and the Thief on footy ads and sports bet ads, and Every upcoming Australian artist should be allowed to record a song for an ad for a sports betting app.

I think the wolf mother thing is that that should be mandatory sports betting music, but the profit should be shared collectively amongst us.

I don't want to

I want to hear that song when I walk into a TAB and see a bunch of guys in their 50s who look like they're about to blow their brains out.

That's what I want.

Andrew Stockdale and like Wolfmother are constantly playing that song and then like they're just occasionally people come in to record like something for their ads and so they get bitten by greyhound as soon as they slow down um but essentially so in terms of like actual like uh constructive ways to to help us you mentioned the um Irish sort of scheme for um You know, providing a basic living wage for artists, which is not only like a good thing to do, but something that governments have done a lot in the past as well.

But that we've never sort of invested in.

Just like the kickoff song.

I used to love Wolf Mother.

And then...

If I hear the guitars, if I hear that one more time.
