More Cowbell - Wolfmother at Pointfest

By the time 8:30 had rolled around and I had been subjected to a bunch of bands I didn’t enjoy plus having to watch the winner of the Guitar Hero contest play in front of the entire crowd, I was ready for something real. Andrew let the crowd know that they had been sitting in their bus for about fourteen hours and were ready to release their primal urges on the crowd during their last U.S. show this tour. Wolfmother played a blistering hour-long set which included crowd pleasers like Dimension, Joker and the Thief, Woman, and Colossal. They also mixed in some two new songs that had the crowd on their feet. Chris and Andrew were all over the place jumping off the bass drum and amplifiers. The sun had set and yet the clothes in the crowd kept coming off. While nothing could match getting a personal concert as we did back in November, it was a great set. While The Killers’ set was like a sensual kiss, Wolfmother was the strip down and get to business band. --J
