One album, three or so delirious years and a lot of patter about being the next Led Zeppelin later, Australia’s Wolfmother disintegrated in 2008 in a cloud of “irreconcilable personal and musical differences.” Frontman Andrew Stockdale has now replaced original members Chris Ross and Myles Heskett with a new lineup and is finishing up a new album. (The song “Back Round” is available for free download from the band’s website.) L.A. could very likely get a taste of new Wolfmother very soon – I hear rumors the Aussies will be added to the lineup for the May 1 edition of First Fridays at the Natural History Museum. Already on the bill: New Zealand psych-poppers the Ruby Suns.

‣ Tyke rock: This month’s installment of Kidrockers features two artists from the roster of L.A. imprint Dangerbird Records, Eulogies and the One AM Radio [pictured]. Eulogies, fronted by Dangerbird co-founder Peter Walker, is in between tours supporting their April 7 release, “Here Anonymous.” The One AM Radio’s lush pop is masterminded by singer-songwriter Hrishikesh Hirway; live, the band plays as a five-piece. Should be a very tuneful afternoon.”  Kidrockers are shows geared to parents and kids ages 3 to 13; this month’s show starts at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Echo.

‣ Benefit: Pigeon John, along with Rootbeer (his collaboration with Flynn Adam) will head up the second annual Treasures benefit on Friday at the Roxy. The event will be hosted by Sonny Sandoval of P.O.D., and proceeds go to outreach programs for women in the sex industry.

‣”  New imprint to launch: Mike TV, the prolific guy behind L.A. power-poppers Get Set Go, is starting a new online label, Square Tire Music. A show launching the label – and celebrating the simultaneous releases by its batch of artists – will be held May 16 at the Eagle Rock Venter for the Arts, featuring the likes of the Power Cords, New Maximum Donkey, Secret Powers and Get Set Go.
