Wavves kicks off Australian tour
7 March 2011
Wavves is the musical outlet for the charmingly careless Nathan Williams. Having just completed a new music video for the title track off King Of The Beach, the skateboarding, video gaming, Seinfeld enthusiast will be making his highly anticipated journey to Australia next week.
San Diego born and bred, Williams shot to prominence in 2009 when much to his amusement, the two lo fi punk rock albums he recorded at his parents house were quickly embraced and touted as "the next big thing" by online music critics and bloggers. In 2010 Wavves released King of the Beach, an adventurous and ambitious record complete with Williams’ recognisable sunshiny melodies. The underlying theme of summer and boredom still remains, but unlike previously released material, King of the Beach was toiled over for three months in a studio by producer Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, The Hives).
Wavves playes the Golden Plains festival this weekend, with a capital city tour kicking off tomorrow night in Brisbane at The Zoo.
