Wavves

Overview

We can all agree that it is torturous that Brisbane is slowly getting colder and colder as the doom season approaches, and one band who are set to tease us and return to our shores are the fittingly named, Wavves.

The US group are here on a pit stop during their Groovin' The Moo festival slot to back up what was a whirlwind mini-tour last year at small, sold out venues.

For what started as just vocalist Nathan Williams in his bedroom, Wavves have done exceptionally well over the last few years to have formed as a four-piece and to have garnered the following they have. If you can't put a finger on what they sing, perhaps 'King of the Beach' rings a bell? It was the 2010 summer indie anthem that was precariously released around our winter. They are equal parts surf, stoner and soft rock, with a little bit of punk and have just penned a follow-up to their 'King Of The Beach' debut, 'Life Sux'. In other words, they are the guys we could never hang out with. Good news though, you can hang out with their crew and admire their eclectic fashion sense (think: fluoro hawaiian shirts) and dream of the summer that is only a speck on the horizon.

They also nearly started a riot last year while they were here, so if that is your sort of vibe, go knock 'em dead.
