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.
She Got It
Wolfmother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just been thinking about her all the time
I tell something something sweet
I tell her something that I like to repeat
She got it
I see you standing up over there
I want to tell you as you walk away
Some of these words that I wanted to say
She got it
Oh give me sugar make it sweet
Oh give me something oh that I need
Oh pick a number make it 9
Oh you can call me anytime
And I know, I think I really know, Just what you said
I like the way that you walk down the street
You look like somebody that I'd like to meet
I wanna give you everything I could
I'd go and take the bad things and make them good
