Wolf cry on band

THE rumour mill was in overdrive at the weekend Splendour in the Grass festival that Wolfmother was playing its last gig with the original line-up.


Most speculation centred on bassist Chris Ross leaving the band, or at least hanging up his touring shoes, to spend more time with his family.


Youth radio statio Triple J even picked up on the goss as part of its online coverage of the Byron Bay event.


But Wolfmother's management and label deny a line-up change is imminent.


"It's no secret that there always has been a little bit of tension in the band, but at the moment, there is nothing to tell," a Modular Recordings spokesman said.


"No one is leaving and it's business as usual."


According to the label, hair-bear frontman Andrew Stockdale, drummer Myles Heskett and Ross have laid down a handful of tracks that "sound amazing".


News Wolfmother remains a pack will be music to the ears of Modular boss Steve Pavlovic, after the label revealed losses of $5.9 million.
