Nathan WAVVES & Jared from Black Lips fought @ Daddy's after the Roseland & Market Hotel shows (there was blood)

WAVVES @ Market Hotel last night (9/25) (more by Leia Jospe)
WAVVES

Wavves was playing with Zach Hill as his drummer [at Market Hotel] and the sound was different and pretty cool.

We were partying pretty hard, and as always seems to happen, the party moved to Daddy’s after everything was settled up. Daddy’s was packed and the remnants of the Beets (welcome home, boys!) show at Dead Herring (happy birthday Cathy!) and the Black Lips show [at Roseland Ballroom (they opened for Yo La Tengo)] also had migrated to the ever popular “hot spot”. Star Studded scene to the maxxxx, if you like slightly “important” indie rockers.

Now, I didn’t see exactly how the fight happened, but I had heard the gossip a few months back about Jared (from Black Lips) talking shit about Nathan on the Internet. Pitchfork went as far as to wonder if Nathan and Jared would have a confrontation when they both played this summer’s p4k fest in Chicago. Needless to say, that didn’t happen.

Well, I suppose last night was the perfect storm. I didn’t see the beginning, but I did see people dragging Nathan and Jared apart, and then Jared and a popular DJ running at Nathan again, spilling beer all over everyone (including me), and punches being thrown. The lights at Daddy’s were turned on, the cops showed up, but Jared and the chick were not ready to stop fighting and were even trying to fight other people outside the bar. Jared was bloody. Nathan was fine. Insane. Weirdest indie rock moment I’ve experienced.” [PopJew]

My friend Dave G tells me there was a broken bottle which might explain Jared’s blood and serious anger. Stay tuned for more details.

UPDATE: Nathan says Jared “got what was coming to him”

UPDATE 2: Jared says “Wavves was NOT involved in that fight”
