Midnight Woolf

Yah Yah’s is thrilled that Midnight Woolf will be playing on New Years Eve Eve. The show was originally scheduled for New Years Eve but due to not being able to stay open past 1am into 2013, Yah Yah’s decide to have our little luau a day early so we can play a little later. Melbourne’s finest rock country garage punk rockabilly surf group Midnight Woolf will be headlining the party. The group recently completed a whirlwind tour of Spain, 15 gigs in 16 days !! Midnight Woolf also released their new album "I'll be a Dog". Midnight Woolf features the talented Sanchez brothers, Raul was in Magic Dirt and also fronts River of Snakes, Lluis is a prolific artist, his distinct cartoon style has adorned many poster walls, album covers and more. Also playing on Sunday 30 December is Ballarat’s primitive garage rock and roll band who have a touch of country and surf, the Yard Apes as well Daylesford’s Humbug. Entry is $10 but every payer gets a glass of free champagne (sparkling wine). Cheers… Let’s start counting down to 2013 with the Woolf early!

"SKIN YOU ALIVE" FILM CLIP STILLS

We're launching the clip at our LuWOW gig on Friday night. Come check it out!!

THE LUWOW

BEAT MAGAZINE ALBUM OF THE WEEK

The paradox of the developed world’s so-called progress is that we’re hell bent on making life more difficult and complex. Public infrastructure projects are suffocated at birth under the weight of nebulous feasibility studies, leisure time has become an exploitable commodity and the spell of modern technology has rendered us unable to perform the most basic of tasks without metaphorically fellating some Silicon Valley whizkid.

Midnight Woolf is as simple as modern society is an indulgent Byzantine mess. The riffs have been around longer than Wall Street self-interest, and the lyrical themes as sophisticated as Chuck Berry telling dirty anecdotes in the schoolyard. It’s Love is three chords and an adolescent love-struck proclamation, Can’t Slow Down is unapologetic speed-fuelled rockabilly and Take It Off is the bastard garage rock child of Link Wray and Betty Page. Skin You Alive is spaghetti western rock decked out in stylish Spanish pop style, Let’s Dance offers a surf-and-grease alternative to vacuous romantic rhetoric and I’ll Be Your Dog takes political correctness and pummels it into submission with a Radio Birdman-filled frenetic assault.

On Haircut, Midnight Woolf discover its inner pop band, all smilin’ and lovin’; Natural Man has Brian Jones and Steve Marriot smiling from beyond the grave. Drink Wine discovers viniculture as metaphor for hot love; Fuss And Fight is all apple pie and distorted American morality. There’s a bunch of covers thrown in for good measure, including a faithful rendition of The Cramps’ New Kind Of Kick, and a perfectly bastardised interpretation of Gloria, skinned and re-cut as Mongolia.

Almost 40 years ago Ken Russell exhorted the English people to ignore Ted Heath and Harold Wilson in favour of The Who; in 2012, Midnight Woolf offers us a simple path to satisfaction and enlightenment.

SOME UPDATES

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Thanks for everyone for coming down to our shows on the ACT/NSW tour, we had an amazing time dancing with all you crazy kids! Thanks to all the venues, friends and the great bands we played with, especially Mother and Son and The Yard Apes. Check out Mother and Sons' new LP, it's a killer.

Here's a somewhat positive review of our Wollongong show. Originality is overrated.

Some band news; we're gonna finish some recordings next month and hopefully have something out in the next couple of months, and we are playing a bunch of shows before and after May.

A couple of words from Mister Woolf himself here.

Lluis' art, illustration and animation website gets a re-jigger.
