WAVVES / These are Powers

Baltimore City Paper: How'd your first NYC and European shows go? Do you think you were received well?
Nathan Williams: Really well! Everything has been super fun. Very positive vibe.

CP: Tell me a bit about how Wavves started, and how you arrived at the name.
NW: Me and my friend Andrew kind of came up with the name together, kind of a joke on how I was pretty afraid of the ocean. Wavves started in my room-just fucking around.

WAVVES play their third of three NYC shows on this tour, tonight (3/29) at Mercury Lounge in Manhattan. Last night (Sunday) was Cake Shop and the night before that (Saturday) was Market Hotel. All three NYC shows are/were with Vampire Hands. These are Powers were also on the bill at Market Hotel, and that's where the pictures in this post were taken. More of them below...
