Wavves - lots more 2009 Tour Dates (2 NYC shows)

Wavves @ Less Artists More Condos (more by Toby Tenenbaum)
Wavves

VICE: You've had a pretty intense amount of coverage on music blogs considering you've only been doing this since February. Do you think they picked up on it so quickly because you are a blogger yourself?

Maybe. The blogging thing just came about because I was working in this music store in San Diego called Music Trader. It was an awful place filled with racist jocks and douchebags and I just couldn't handle the 9 to 5 so I ended up quitting. The sparkle in my day while I was there had been these nice guys who would just come and in and talk rap records with me. Once I quit the job I suddenly had all this time on my hands and wanted to talk rap records but had no one to talk about them with so I started Ghost Ramp. I'd always listened to rap though because as a kid the two things my mum wouldn't let me listen to were West Coast G-funk and alternative guitar music so those were the two things I got heavily into.

Wavves is touring pretty much non-stop between now and the end of April. Between now and then he'll be all over Europe, all over America, at SXSW, and, as promised, back in NYC in March - the 28th at Cake Shop and the 29th at Market Hotel to be exact. All dates below...

I feel bad for this guy, all this hype just means more people will be exposed to shit music.

Posted by Anonymous | February 13, 2009 8:33 PM

CS>MH? I happen to _disagree_

The excellent VAMPIRE HANDS from Minneapolis, MN will be opening the shows starting 3.22

Posted by paul | February 13, 2009 9:01 PM

Don't believe the hype or the haircut.

is WAVVES the Bon Iver of '09?

Posted by paul | February 13, 2009 9:17 PM

if you really wanna know what it sounds like, blend the breeders "la la la" with a mixed in the red overdriven 4 track production and some stoner synth noodles.
it's all been done before, but kids in girls pants, buffalo plaid shirts, & boat shoes will be dumb founded...history repeats itself.

Hype? YUP.

I'm getting really tired of this kid quick. I've listened to the album. Am I missing something? It's hyper-hyped. Go buy a Sonic Youth record - fggt's. God Help Us.

I agree with Brussel Sprout...that review pretty much sums up this crap

that picture makes him look like tom delonge with a tegan and sara cut

Posted by Anonymous | February 15, 2009 12:44 AM

each year as sxsw approaches, there has to be one blogtastic band that everyone wants to see. i suppose this year its Wavves. but, once all the nailbiters finally see him play, they'll walk away flacid. music has always been cyclical. this cycle is nothing more than stuff that was done in the 80/90's.

sorry Mr. Wavve - you've records are nothing more than a strong rip current that ripped me off financially. someone please call a lifeguard. i want my goddamn money back.

10:50 should write for According to Jim. He's that good.

Posted by Anonymous | February 15, 2009 12:20 PM

12:20 should write for Last Call with Carson Daly. He's that good.

Posted by La La | June 5, 2009 3:03 PM

His schedule of concerts is very tough, so it's no doubt that he missed 2 of them.
