CarterSaidWhat: Wolves in Elephants Clothing

There are 117,000 Australians in the UK. The Ozzy contingent that have adopted good ol'blighty have lots in common. Each and every one of them hate the British winters and compare our summers to a slightly colder version of their monsoon season. They all live in south west London and drunk Fosters for the first time when they set foot in Clapham. They also all love Wolfmother.

The Coronet in London's Elephant & Castle last night was awash with Sheila's and Bruce's, as Andrew Stockdale and co played their only London date of their European tour.

Apart from the toilets smelling like they'd just been picked up from doing a 12 year stint at Glasto, and the bar being so busy with people it looked like the post office on the Kingsland High Street on giro day, The Coronet is good live music venue.

Wolfmother however, were a bit hit and miss. They played all their big tracks like Women, Dimension and Colossal. Yet, the miss part is that I found myself getting a touch bored. Massive guitar solos, big drums and prolonged breakdowns are ok for a while. But I just felt they pushed it a little too far.

The hit part is the fact that this band are seriously tight. It's amazing to think that the members of this band have only been playing together for less than 12months. They replicate what you hear on your MP3 at home to the live stage with absolute ease. They also demostrate more energy than the Duracell Bunny after he's just been out on a date with the Red Bull fairy, which isn't a bad thing.

All said and done I'm glad I went. It was a good live show that delivered on a lot of levels. Although next time they're in town, I probably won't rush back.
