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 ↴
All the futures that I see are whitening,
See the time of yesterday,
Become the time that we have today,
Oh I'm looking for a hidden meaning,
Can you tell me if it's just a feeling,
See the light is shining in your eye's,
I saw the light shine out today,
I saw the light shine out today,
And it told me that you're not the one for me,
Can you hear the ancient calling,
See the empires we've built are falling,
All we have is the human touch,
The clock is ticking even as we rush,
In the first verse of Wolfmother's "Pyramid," the lyrics suggest a future that is full of lightning, almost as if they are seeing a thunderstorm on the horizon. The white lightning could be interpreted as a symbol of the power and energy that awaits them. The lyric "see the time of yesterday, become the time that we have today" could represent the importance of learning from the past and how it shapes our present. The lyrics also suggest a search for a hidden meaning, which could be related to a greater purpose or sense of direction.
The second verse explores a different theme, with the lyrics "can you hear the ancient calling, see the empires we've built are falling." The ancient calling could symbolize a sense of tradition and longing for the past, while the empires falling indicate the fleeting nature of human achievement. The final line, "the clock is ticking even as we rush," suggests that time is short, and we must make the most of every moment to leave a positive impact on the world.
Line by Line Meaning
Can you see it's full of lightning,
The world is full of energy and potential.
All the futures that I see are whitening,
The future is bright and full of possibilities.
See the time of yesterday,
Reflecting on the past.
Become the time that we have today,
The past influences the present.
Oh I'm looking for a hidden meaning,
Searching for significance.
Can you tell me if it's just a feeling,
Questioning the validity of emotions.
See the light is shining in your eye's,
Noticing someone's inner radiance.
Is it love in disguise,
Wondering if it's a romantic connection.
I saw the light shine out today,
Had a realization or epiphany.
And it told me that you're not the one for me,
A realization that a specific person or situation is not right.
Can you hear the ancient calling,
Feeling the pull of history and tradition.
See the empires we've built are falling,
Realizing the impermanence of civilization.
All we have is the human touch,
Valuing human connection and contact.
The clock is ticking even as we rush,
Time continues to move forward, no matter how busy we are.
