Wavves
are a Lo-fi/punk band based in San Diego, California. They released their self-titled debut LP in 2008 and drew the attention of Pitchfork Media. [1] [2] They are currently signed to Fat Possum Records and released their second full-length album, Wavvves, on February 3, 2009. [3]
Singer Nathan Williams suffered a very public breakdown as the band was unable to complete their set at the 2009 Barcelona Primavera Sound Festival. [4] Williams, who admitted he'd taken a cocktail of ecstasy and Valium, fought with drummer Ryan Ulsh and insulted the Spanish crowd, who then pelted him with bottles and a shoe. Apologizing for their performance, Williams admitted the next day he also suffers from alcohol addiction. As a result, the band canceled the remainder of their European tour. [5]
