In 2004 Wolfmother began appearing at several high profile music events, such as Homebake and the Big Day Out. They also released their debut self-titled EP through Modular Recordings.
In 2005 the band made their way to Los Angeles, working alongside producer Dave Sardy (of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Marilyn Manson, and Oasis fame) to record their self-titled debut album, released in October 2005.
In 2006 Wolfmother dominated the Australian Recording Industry Association awards (ARIAs), taking Best Breakthrough Album, Best Rock Album, and Best Group.
In August 2008, after headlining the Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay, Australia, bass/keyboard player Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett resigned, leaving just singer/guitarist Andrew Stockdale. Andrew planned to find new musicians before recording another album.
From February 2009 the new line up appeared in two secret gigs under the name Whitefeather. The band officially consists of Dave Atkins on drums, Ian Peres on bass and organ, and Aidan Nemeth as the surprise fourth member and a new guitarist. The new line up's first album, Cosmic Egg, was released in 2009.
Now drummer Dave Atkins has decided to leave the band to spend more time at home with his family; he will be temporarily be replaced by The Mooney Suzuki and Har Mar Superstar drummer Will Rockwell-Scott.

Wolfmother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the one who picked the apple tree
Nyssa, can you remember me
I'm the one who picked the apple tree
Nyssa, can you remember me,
I'm the one who picked the apple tree,
Nyssa sir, can you remember me
Your doctor is so blind to see,
Unravel some mystery in me,
When I see the apples feed the skies,
All my love I can't recognize,
Nyssa, can you remember me,
I'm the one who picked the apple tree,
Nyssa, can you remember me
I'm the one who picked the apple tree
Nyssa, can you remember me,
I'm the one who picked the apple tree,
Nyssa, can you remember me
I'm the one who picked the apple tree
Your doctor is so blind to see,
Unravel some mystery in me,
When I see the apples feed the skies,
All my love I can't recognize,
Nyssa, can you remember me,
I'm the one who picked the apple tree,
Nyssa, can you remember me
I'm the one who picked the apple tree
The lyrics of "Appletree" by Wolfmother is a reflective piece about a person named Nyssa, who the singer believes cannot remember him anymore. The singer is trying to jog Nyssa's memory by reminding her that he is the one who picked the apple tree. The chorus repeats this refrain a few times, as if trying to make sure that Nyssa can remember him, but he is met with silence. The song seems to be about loneliness, the feeling of being forgotten, and trying to reconnect with someone from the past.
The singer, however, takes a strange turn when he talks about the doctor being blind to see and wanting to unravel a mystery in him. The line "When I see the apples feed the skies, all my love I can't recognize" is a bit cryptic, but it could be interpreted as the singer losing the ability to love or recognize love when he sees apples in the sky. It is unclear what the metaphor means, but it adds to the mysterious and somber undertones of the song.
Overall, "Appletree" is a poignant song that explores themes of loss, loneliness, and memory. The lyrics, while simple, convey a sense of desperation and longing for connection, even if it is just a memory of a shared experience.

I love Wolfmother, because it sounds like as if AC/DC and Black Sabbath had a baby.
