Big news from the Wavves camp: Nathan Williams and his new version of Wavves--essentially Jay Reatard's former band--have finished recording a new album, which Williams says will be out this summer. Here's what he wrote on Twitter:
"SOUNDSCARAAAZAAAAAAYYY AND WILL BE OUT THIS SUMMER. SEEEEEE YA!"
Here's hoping that Reatard's rhythm section can elevate Wavves' game to Reatard-like heights. That's not all for Wavves: The new version of the band has a handful of dates this summer. Here they are:
06-18 Toronto, Ontario - Lee's Palace (NXNE)
06-19 Toronto, Ontario - Younge-Dundas Square (NXNE)
06-20 Montreal, Quebec - Il Motore *
06-22 Boston, MA - Great Scott *
06-24 New York, NY - Knitting Factory
06-25 Washington, DC - Rock and Roll Hotel
06-26 Philadelphia, PA - The Barbary
08-06-08 Chicago, IL - Lollapalooza* with Cloud Nothings

I'm curious enough. Gotta be better than that mashup.
