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 ↴
And look into their eyes
And everything you're dreaming of
Is far beyond the skies
I believe were going out
Into the open void
Far across the sky
Never wonderin' why
Ooh my little girl
Look into the other side
And you'll find the time
Everybody's got a story
Everybody's got their own
Do you feel any better
When you find you're not alone
As you're laying down
And look into the sun
And see somebody that reminds you
Of where you're coming from
Ooh my little girl
Look into the other side
And you'll find you've begun
Never have I felt like this before
But sometime when I see that opening door
Just like a stone until it's thrown
Listen to the tone
Truth cannot make this alone
Said the sun to the mind's eye
You will never find until you try
All the words cut like a knife
You're gonna have to stand up some time
Wonderin' how did it all
Ever turn out this way
Even those who stand so tall
Can no longer say
Anytime you're falling down
Anytime you're far away
May you never need to justify
Everybody's got their own way
Ooh
Look into the other side
And you'll find you've begun
Never have I felt like this before
But sometime when I see that opening door
Every way you look when you look into the book
Well I can't believe that you've never seen this before
Said the sun to the mind's eye
You will never find until you try
All the words cut like a knife
You're gonna have to stand up some time
Ooh
The lyrics to Wolfmother's song In the Morning begin by describing the feeling of waking up in the morning and looking into someone's eyes, and feeling like everything you dream of is far beyond the skies. The song then moves into a more introspective look at one's own life, with the lyrics "Everybody's got a story, everybody's got their own. Do you feel any better when you find you're not alone?" and "And see somebody that reminds you of where you're coming from." The song continues to explore the idea of self-discovery and finding one's place in the world, with lyrics like "May you never need to justify, everybody's got their own way."
Throughout the song, there is a reference to looking into the other side, and finding something there. This could be interpreted as looking beyond the surface level of things and finding deeper meaning or understanding. The song is ultimately about finding one's own path and purpose in life.
Line by Line Meaning
Wake up in the morning
Start off the day with new opportunities.
And look into their eyes
Embrace connection with the people you care about.
And everything you're dreaming of
The possibilities are beyond your wildest imagination.
Is far beyond the skies
The sky is the limit to what you can achieve.
I believe were going out
We're stepping out to explore the unknown.
Into the open void
Taking risks and exploring the unknown.
Far across the sky
Venturing into the vast universe.
Never wondering' why
No questions asked, just focused on the journey.
Ooh my little girl
A term of endearment for someone close.
Look into the other side
Tap into a different perspective.
And you'll find the time
Time will reveal new opportunities.
Everybody's got a story
Everyone has their own unique experiences.
Everybody's got their own
We're all different and that's okay.
Do you feel any better
Does seeing others' stories make you feel more connected?
When you find you're not alone
Realizing you're not the only one with struggles.
As you're laying down
Reflecting in a solitary moment...
And look into the sun
...throughout the journey of life.
And see somebody that reminds you
Finding inspiration in others.
Of where you're coming from
Remembering your roots and the journey it took to get here.
Never have I felt like this before
Feeling something new and exciting.
But sometime when I see that opening door
Taking advantage of new opportunities.
Just like a stone until it's thrown
You won't know the impact you can make until you try.
Listen to the tone
Pay attention to the message being conveyed.
Truth cannot make this alone
You need to put in effort to make things happen.
Said the sun to the mind's eye
Imagining a conversation between nature and the human mind.
You will never find until you try
Taking risks is the only way to find out what you're capable of.
All the words cut like a knife
The truth may be harsh, but it's necessary to hear.
You're gonna have to stand up some time
Finding the courage to take action.
Wonderin' how did it all
Reflecting on the past and present.
Ever turn out this way
Unexpected things happen, but that's okay.
Even those who stand so tall
Even the greatest can struggle.
Can no longer say
Realizing new challenges can arise at any moment.
Anytime you're falling down
Getting back up from setbacks.
Anytime you're far away
Feeling distant from what you're trying to achieve.
May you never need to justify
You don't need to explain yourself to others.
Everybody's got their own way
Everyone approaches life differently.
Every way you look when you look into the book
Searching for answers in all the possible places.
Well I can't believe that you've never seen this before
Discovering something new and exciting.
