    Details, Please!

    If this is true, I am really upset! They had a great thing when I saw them in Arnhem, Netherlands and here in Indiana. They totally rocked it both times! I hope the split is false and they are just going through some tough times!

    Damn that bums me out :( I saw them twice last year and both shows were amazing. I was really looking forward to some new music.

    Shit ! I was expecting a new album from them and instead I have this bad news. I saw them opening for PJ in 2006 in Antwerp and they were really good

    Man, this sucks. I actually really liked them.

    We desperatley need them. Just look at my generation and see what kind of music that we listen to today (Jonas Brothers, Fall Out Boy, etc). At least Wolfmother had nice riffs and tunes OH and they lacked the annyoing "whiny teenager voice." So long..

    From wolfmother.com:

    Grammy Award winning rock band Wolfmother has announced the resignation of bass/keyboard player Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett effective immediately.

    Singer/guitarist Andrew Stockdale now plans to find other musicians over coming months and to then begin making a new Wolfmother album.

    Wolfmother toured the world virtually non-stop through 2006 and early 2007 on the back of their acclaimed self titled debut album. Longstanding frictions within the group then lead them to take an extended break during the second half of 2007 to consider their future.

    In early 2008 they regrouped and worked on new material. Initially encouraged by those sessions, they committed to a handful of live shows to 'road test' the new songs and to try to find a way forward.

    Those dates concluded with a headlining slot last Sunday at the Splendour In The Grass Festival in Australia's Byron Bay where rumours circulated about possible lineup changes.

    Following that show Chris Ross decided to announce that he was leaving the band due to irreconcilable personal and musical differences. Myles Heskett has also decided to leave the band rather than continuing as part of a changed lineup. The pair has been working together on songs for some time and they plan to focus their energies on that new project in the future.

    Wolfmother's self titled debut album is one of the most successful Australian rock releases this century. It has sold over 1.3 million copies and received multiple ARIA Awards and a Grammy – making them the first Aussie band to receive such an award in 25 years. Other highlights for the group have included appearances at just about every major music festival in the world, sharing stages with Pearl Jam, The Who and The Strokes, and a special performance inducting the legendary Led Zeppelin into the UK's Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame.

    Andrew Stockdale, Myles Heskett and Chris Ross will make no public statements at this time except to say that they are each really looking forward to making their new music over the years ahead.

    In the meantime they simply ask all Wolfmother fans to please understand that in spite of their best efforts over a long period of time, they just could not find a harmonious way to work together and that has lead to the decisions announced today.

    That's a shame. I was never a diehard fan but I liked their album. Nothing too deep but it was fun and it rocked.

    This sucks. I really liked the first album and was looking forward to the new stuff

    Hopefully Andrew will not go away and form another good group...

    There's a constant ringing in my ears

    "Wolfmother's self titled debut album is one of the most successful Australian rock releases this century."

    which century? do they mean the one that's 8 years old?

    frankly that singer bugged the shit outta me. i'm more willing to check out anything the bassist/drummer do than a different wolfmother lineup.

    bollocks anyway. They had a real classic rock sound which was rare these days. They are continuing with new musicians though right?

    I'm pretty sure they're gonna be one of those bands where people will say in the future: "You remember the Original Line-Up? Man they used to Rock!! Now they're just Andrew with a couple musicians ... f###ing boring!"
