Wolfmother call off San Diego concert

New York--Aussie power trio Wolfmother has pulled the plug on the last six days of their current world tour, which includes a stop in San Diego, due to the premature arrival of a baby boy to the band's bassplayer and keyboardist, Chris Ross.

Wolfmother's schuduled appearance as part of the Viejas Concerts in the Park series in San Diego on Friday September 29 has been cancelled, and a Wolfmother spokesperson said that the band would do everything possible to return to San Diego at some point in early 2007. Ross received news of the impending birth yesterday and embarked on a 23-hour trek back to his hometown of Sydney, Australia to be at his partner's side for the newborn's arrival. |
In mid-flight, however, he learned that his partner had given birth, the newborn arriving nearly a month ahead of schedule.
The Wolfmother song "Joker & The Thief" is the title track for the movie “Jackass Number 2,” the number one grossing movie in the US over the weekend. The video for the song features the Aussie group and the Jackass crew, and ranks at the top of the "Hot List" in the current edition of "Rolling Stone" magazine.
Last week the band was among the most nominated artists at Australia's equivalent of the Grammy Awards (the ARIA's). They have made the final five for major categories like Best Group, Album of the Year and Single of the Year. The winners will be announced on October 29 and Wolfmother is scheduled to perform at the gala ceremony.
