Wavves Announce Fall Tour

9:14 p.m. · July 28, 2009 · by Michael Hoven

You'll want to go see this. Not just because Wavves' self-titled debut is really good, or because you might get to hear the very cool "Mickey Mouse," which just came out recently. These are good enough reasons, but you might also get to see some serious fireworks. The last time Wavves toured, singer Nathan Williams had too much Ecstasy and Xanax and argued with his drummer while playing badly and dodging bottles thrown from the angry audience. So, best-case scenario you listen to some terrific music, and worst-case scenario you get to watch the sort of debacle that provides a salutary reminder that live music is not the same as listening to records.

Wavves will be touring from August to October, supported by Ganglians and the Soft Pack.
