history

The band was formed in 2007 by singer Mikey Tucker, guitarist Ben Couzens, bassist Johnny Gash and drummer Frank Trobbiani. Originally the band was supposed to be called Pussy Pussy , but then decided on Mammoth Mammoth.

“We wanted a name that seemed gigantic. A mammoth is already big, but a Mammoth Mammoth is of course much more impressive. "

- Mickey Tucker

In 2008 and 2009, the Golden Triangle record company released the EP Vol. I - Mammoth Mammoth and the self-produced debut album Vol. II - Mammoth . In addition to three line-up changes on bass, numerous concerts in the opening act for Rose Tattoo , Airbourne and The Datsuns followed . The band made a name for themselves through their intense performances. At a concert in Melbourne singer Mikey Tucker jumped during the first song by a window to the front of the pub standing, fuming to bring guests to the stage. Although Tucker was covered in blood , the band continued to play. Mammoth Mammoth have been banned from entering three places in Melbourne .
