Mammoth Mammoth has signed a record deal with Golden Robot Records that will see a live album out by the band later in the year, not least because they’re back playing live in their Australian homeland.
“Mammoth Mammoth has always been an Australian, balls-out, rock n’ roll band, and we’ve proudly flown that flag in the pubs of Australia and clubs of Europe for almost 15 years. We’re pumped to be reunited and now signed with Golden Robot. They understand what we do and how we do it…And they also have their balls-out!” remarked guitarist, Ben ‘Cuz’ Couzens.
Hailing from the Black Spur Forest of Victoria, Australia, the band was formed in 2007 by Couzens, bassist Gareth ‘Gash’ Sweet, drummer Frank ‘Bones’ Trobbiani and frontman Mikey Tucker.
They spent three years working the pubs of Australia and released their first two albums (a self-titled EP and LP Volume II – Mammoth) on their own label Golden Triangle Records. They also embarked on multiple Australian tours including runs with Airbourne and Kyuss’s John Garcia. In 2011 Gash left the group citing drug issues (“He couldn’t get enough”, apparently), and was replaced by Pete Bell, cementing the band’s classic line-up.
In 2012, they caught the attention of Napalm Records, and over the next nine years released five albums and spent much of their time on the road in Europe, where they built a loyal following of fans. The band would share stages with Hellyeah, Black Label Society, Rose Tattoo, Sleep, Electric Wizard, and have played Melbourne’s famous Cherryrock Festival in AC/DC Lane a record of four times.
