Wolfwother played the Radio 1 / NME Stage at 1300 on Saturday.

The sun is shining as Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale surveys his remarkably massive audience, his afro billowing in the wind.

This brief spell of summery weather is perfect for enjoying some cracking nu-psychedelia - but a storm is brewing... "the powers of rock are descending upon us" explains Stockdale.

The skies darken and the 'Mother launch into their new single, the Hendrix-esqe Woman. Performed live, the song is so powerful and delivered with such convincing swagger that it's easy to forget that the riffs have leapt straight out of 1969 - this sounds exciting!

A while back it seemed that The Darkness had hammered the final nail into the coffin of irony-tinged power rock... but apparently not.

Nowadays we just like our hands-in-the-air posturing and groin-powered guitar with some swirly Hammond organ and a bit of substance. Wolfmother deliver.
