Gig Pick of the Week: Wavves
Holy Hell. Wavves are on their way downunder: and this is one Tsunami of surfer punk rock you’ll want to be swept up in for sure. Their third studio album King of the Beach which dropped in 2010 got so many hand-claps from the likes of Pitchfork, Spin, NME etc. it’s worth checking out a few tracks if you don’t already have this as a staple spin on your iPod.
If single (and one of my fave tracks ever of theirs) Post-Acid below doesn’t get your blood pumping, maybe you’re not a mammal? If you want to know more weird facts about Wavves and other acts on this year’s Groovin the Moo bill, head here. Otherwise, all the Wavves tour dates are below.
