WAVVES IN CONCERT:
Indie rockers Wavves make the best of their So Cal origins, blending hardcore punk fury with sunny surf melodies. The band sets itself apart from the rest of the indie scene with charmingly lo-fi pop tunes and sweet, passionate melodies belted out by frontman Nathan Williams. They’re a force of nature on stage -- the band tears into live staples like “So Bored”, “No Fun”, and “Afraid of Heights” to create gleefully chaotic jams, complete with heart-pounding tempos, overdriven guitars, and pummeling rhythms. Packed with all the giddy pop and punk attitude ticket buyers could want, Wavves’ one-of-a-kind shows are not to be missed whenever the band goes on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
San Diego surf rock savant Nathan Williams (vocals/guitar) began Wavves as a lo-fi recording project, releasing his self-titled debut album directly to cassette in 2008. He smartly parlayed his preexisting presence as a hip hop blogger to generate buzz for the project, eventually drawing the critical attention of Pitchfork. On the way to his 2009 sophomore album Wavvves, he enlisted the help of drummer Ryan Ulsh to form a dedicated touring unit. After a falling out with Ulsh, Williams tapped drummer Billy Hayes and bassist Stephen Pope, formerly of the late Jay Reatard’s band. The trio produced the unexpectedly polished pop punk record King of the Beach, which Pitchfork named one of the best albums of 2010. The ‘90s alternative influenced Afraid of Heights followed in 2013, after which the frontman began touring with the solidified lineup of drummer Brian Hill and lead guitarist Alex Gates in addition to holdover bassist Pope. In 2015 Williams thrilled fans with the announcement of two new Wavves albums as well as a fall tour that will bring the group's punk enthusiasm and pop revelry to adoring fans across the country.
The jacuzzi boys and king tuff opened for wavves; both bands were great. But of course wavves was the best. They sounded awesome and were super funny in between songs. So much fun!!!
I had a great time, would totally come out again and again :)
I love wavves, but it would be cool if they had better stage presence. The crowd was really into it which was awesome.
Thought I would go to see this interesting band at this great venue. Wavves' recordings are great, They are clearly talented songwriters and great musicians. But live? Just too loud and muddy. Writing them off.
They need to come back to Boston again. The show was great and the crowd was all fans, which was awesome.
Been going to concerts for 20 years and this show was awesome. When brighton music hall is packed with people who really want to be there, there's no where else I rather be. Wavves sounded great and everyone was having a blast. Great pit, lots of helpful kids when I fell down a few times. Over all lots of fun. Can't wait to see Wavves again..
Well to start off with my friend and I missed Cheatahs and Fidlar unfortunately, We just overshot the time needed to get to see Fidlar but we got there for the band we wanted to see most which was Wavves of course. The show was pretty packed, considering it was sold out. It was very hot and energetic in the venue but it was great! It was a ton of fun, Wavves put on a great show and was the most fun concert I have been to so far! They played all of my favorites so I was very happy with that! They played (not in this order) Sail to the Sun, Afraid of Heights, Beat Me Up, Idiot, King of The Beach, Green Eyes, Idiot, Super Soaker , Post Acid, 100% (cover of Sonic Youth) , and a few others I think. All in all the show was great!
Summer Feeling in the dead of winter! They sounded amazing.
BEST THING EVER. Nathan Williams could do ANYTHING and I would pay to see him do it. The whole band has this amazing vibe that everyone can relate to. A chill, laid back one. Even with the technical difficulties, it was amazing, and totally worth waiting in the hot sun and dirt for. Best part? Nathan Williams, pant-less.
Great show! Lot's of drunken and stoned energy. This is what punk has become
this was the worst concert ever. wavves, i am dissapoint.
