Ok so I just watched these guys on Leno...pretty impressive. Can't quite put my finger on who they remind me of. Any help from anyone? Kinda driving me nuts!
PJ FANS ROCK!!!
Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back.

They sound a lot like The White Stripes meets At The Drive In/The Mars Volta IMO... although their guitar style is a lot like The Vynes (or Vines... not really sure on the spelling)

I was referring more to someone from the 70's-80's. I am SO not up on the music scene these last few years. It's all PJ all the time for me. Don't even listen to the radio much anymore.

I listened to the Wolfmother album for the first time today and the first thing I thought (in terms of 70's era influences) was how much the keyboards sounded like Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.

The influences of Zeppelin and Deep Purple are unmistakable in Wolfmother. I also hear traces of the White Stripes. For some reason, I only just picked up the Wolfmother CD this week and I can't put it down. Their music gives me hope for the state of rock n' roll. I love these guys. If Pearl Jam ever make their way to eastern Canada again, they must bring these guys as an opening act. Hopefully, I can see these guys live someday.
I just saw Wolfmother saturday at Lollapalooza ... frickin' awesome they were!!!!!! Totally blew me away and the crowd as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, what an amazing rockin' night you are in for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to hear about it!!! Please do let us know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wolfmother TOTALLY rocked Lolla. They were definitely one of my favorites this weekend.
Great weekend all in all!!!!
I was shocked when I read Greg Kotts review. He referred to Wolfmother as "Big Dumb Rock personified ... "! Then continued to smash the Flaming Lips as well. I was in the heart of both shows and the audience LOVED um' both. Age range was 13 to 50ish!!!!
Chicago has some really lackluster rock critics. I am 44 and am shocked at the reviews that come forth from Greg Kott & Jim DeRegotis. I hate bashing age as I am in the upper realm these days, but it is certainly time for some fresh rock critics in Chicago!

Led Zep!
That may very well be who it was. I did grow up on Led Zep so it's a definite possibility. As I said I was very impressed with their performance.
