…that they still make album covers like this:
Ladies and gentlemen… WOLFMOTHER!! *
* Not to be confused with:
(I kinda like them, actually.)
**UPDATE FROM MIKE**
And that they still make guys like this:
Now that Leo Sayer has passed on*, it’s nice to have a good sub.
*by “passed on” I mean of course “living in Australia“.

Well, that second image would make a good album cover too.

For some kind of 70s metal band. How would they do their name though? I’m guessing something on par with: RoMuLISS + ReMUZ

I very much enjoy Wolfmother’s anachronistic seventies jive. Keep your ears open for very tasteful (read: inherently tasteless but charming) flute solos.
I like it very much.

Do they cover “Heard It In a Love Song”?

Is that ROM: Spaceknight on the cover?

Considering what they still do with pulp sci-fi and romance book covers, it’s not too surprising that pulp bands would opt for the same, really. I’d think it’d be difficult for a band today not to appear ironic or angsty or just plain bland. What hasn’t been done for an album cover already?

I wish I had a van because that would look completely out of place on a Nissan Sentra.

The Romulus and Remus image was actually the symbol used by my high school. We had a giant statue of it in our foyer. Supposedly, we students were all supposed to be the orphaned, abandoned waifs suckling at the nourishing teats of education and we’d all go on to do amazing things, like found Rome. Yeah, right. I get the symbolism and all, but honestly: would you want to see thing at the asscrack of dawn every morning for four years?

To answer your question, no, not at “the asscrack” of dawn as you put it, but perhaps at the “lovehandle” of after noon I could bare that image a little more gently.
Seriously, your high school had some weird Freudian symbolism going on. Did Carl Jung ever visit?

Wolfmother are the pancakes of hard rock. At first it’s all “Yum! They sound like early Sabbath with a touch of Zeppelin! Gimme a stack of THAT!” But after a few mouthfuls you start to regret your selection, as their derivative licks and pretentious lyrics begin to expand in your stomach…
Mmmm… who’s hungry for flapjacks?

Mitch Hedberg would concur. “That band is pancaking!”

The perfect morning: a tall stack of pancakes, gobbled down while listening to Wolfmother at top volume.
And a fifth of Jack Daniels.

Throw in some bacon and I think we’re set for the day.

That’s right, pancakes. And do you know why?
“NO waffles (TWEET tweet).”

“The perfect morning: a tall stack of pancakes, gobbled down while listening to Wolfmother at top volume. ”
This would also make a good last meal for a death row inmate.

Little known trivia…..Wolfmother is actually the Hell’s Angel’s main chick…..The album cover design was copied from the artwork airbrushed on her Harley Davidson’s gas tank.

Wow! I just learned from the link to that website about Romulus and Remus that their legend IS NOT TRUE!!
All this time I thought that Romulus and Remus were in fact nursed by a wolf. It turns out that it was probably a female ferret!
Thank You! I’ll be here all week! Don’t forget to tip your waitress!
Seriusly, the wolf in that statue reminds me of my yellow lab Nola!

I note that the she-wolf suckling R & R looks none too happy.

I can only imagine listening to “Wolfmother” in the right ambiance. That would be…playing it through my cassette deck in my partially bondo’d ‘78 Camaro. You know the one that has the rumbling cherry bomb exhaust and has the names of the driver and passenger stenciled in small writing on the doors, just below the window: “Randy” and “Debbie“

As an official Indie Fruit, I’m a little dismayed that I’m finally being coerced into trying out Wolfmother by a middle-aged, Midwestern comedy writer. I think I must be slipping. Perhaps I need to start smoking…
