Take 40 Live<\/strong> is set to blast off with the mighty Wolfmother<\/strong> playing live on Friday 2nd<\/sup> October at the Entertainment Quarter Moore Park, to celebrate the launch of Guitar Hero\u00ae 5.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans will be treated to a scorching free live set as Wolfmother<\/strong> rips through tracks from their brand new album COSMIC EGG<\/em><\/strong> out 23rd<\/sup> October. COSMIC EGG<\/em><\/strong> was recorded over a 2-month period in Los Angeles with heralded UK producer Alan Moulder. A record that\u2019s at once a darker shade of night at one end of the sonic spectrum, and a euphoric light of day at the other. The first single, New Moon Rising<\/em><\/strong> is powering up the airplay charts and is released September 25.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To be part of this unique event, which will be filmed live for television, head to the Entertainment Quarter from 5.30pm on 2nd<\/sup> October.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wolfmother\u2019s debut self-titled album resulted in more than one million sales and sold out live shows the world over, multiple ARIA Awards and a Grammy, ensuring their status as one of Australia\u2019s pre-eminent rock acts.\u00a0 It is only fitting that the newest instalment in the Guitar Hero\u00ae series, Guitar Hero 5, pays homage to the band by featuring them alongside iconic artists such as Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Vampire Weekend, Kings of Leon and Deep Purple.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nadya Balzarolo, General Manager Promotions, Universal Music, said today \u201cWolfmother is the perfect band to launch this live series.\u00a0 Fresh from touring the USA and nearing end of their Australian dates, the band will be primed and ready to deliver their\u00a0 \u2018not to be missed\u2019 live show\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Philip Earl, Managing Director, Activision Blizzard Australia commented: \u201cGuitar Hero has a huge local following, so we wanted to include Wolfmother, one of Australia\u2019s best home grown rock acts into Guitar Hero 5<\/strong>.\u00a0 Wolfmother joins an impressive international line-up featured in the game, including over 85 artists such as Coldplay, Iggy Pop, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Iron Maiden. We are looking forward to seeing all the <\/em>Guitar Hero fans down at Fox Studios to celebrate the launch of the game.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
