WOLFMOTHER singer Andrew Stockdale has launched a public attack on radio station Triple J which has attracted 10,000 "likes" from Facebook fans.

Stockdale claimed the station turned on the band once their popularity waned.

"Left-wing conservatives sitting up in their offices on their Government paid wages,” Stockdale told a Sydney audience during their Smashing Pumpkins support set this week.

"Triple J can go f... themselves," the website Faster Louder reported Stockdale told the crowd.

The feud seemed to start at the Splendour In The Grass festival, where a Triple J Tweet said the Wolfmother audience was "99.95% male, 0.05% other.”

The Wolfmother Twitter responded “Meanwhile JJJ stats shown to be 100% consistently lame.”

Overnight Stockdale embarked on a Twitter feud with Triple J presenter Tom Ballard.

"Sorry Andrew Stockdale, I disagree, I don’t think Triple J is lame. Then again, I don’t have a song on the soundtrack to Shrek the Third,” Ballard tweeted at Stockdale.

After a few pot shots, including comedian Rhys Nicholson saying Stockdale was wearing a “Frank Zappa costume” the singer said Ballard and co were stoking the fire to protect their “oh so precious radio careers”.

When Tweeter “Steve” told Stockdale he was a “pretentious wanker” and “no one cares for your 'music’ anymore” the Wolfmother frontman fired back, "nothing wrong with being hated by an a...hole, so thank you.”

Wolfmother’s self-titled 2005 album, which spawned the hitsWoman, The Joker and the Thief and Mind’s Eye, was voted No.8 in Triple J’s list of best Australian albums of all time by the station’s listeners.

The album went five times platinum in Australia and has sold over a million copies internationally.

However after line-up changes, the follow-up, 2009’s Cosmic Egg, failed to match the sales or impact of their debut.

A third album is scheduled for release this year.

Stockdale is not the only person slating Triple J this week. Presenter Lindsay 'The Doctor’ McDougall has been the subject of a Facebook hate campaign.

A listener messaged the station saying ‘The Doctor’ had ruined their coverage of the Splendour In The Grass festival with “incessant dribble about how many bands you’ve jammed with on stage” or ‘’one of your zany stories from the road.”

The post ended with “your constant self-promoting douchebaggery is a blight on an otherwise great radio station. It’s not all about you mate.”

Over 10,000 people “liked” the post.
