WAVVES at Metamusic 8/26
Saturday, September 12th, 2009
Nothing beats finding out one of your new favorite bands is playing a “secret show” at a tiny record shop for FREE. And the news just got better and better. The show was officially announced a few hours before it started, but in a small town such as ours word gets around fast. To top it off, word on the street was Zach Hill is now the drummer for WAVVES. Holy shit. I had to work that night but managed to swing getting an hour off to run over to Metamusic and see the show. I got there just in time to get a perfect spot and let my eyes adjust to the red lighting before they started.
It was so loud, there was so much feed back and it was so awesome. They announced it was the first show they had played with the current line-up and yes, I now have like hella scene points. (Is that still a valid form of street cred currency? Was it ever? I’ll have to check with my editor.)
Okay, this is the part where I’m all like “Zach Hill is amazing, blah blah blah and how challenging it must be for him to play in 4/4 and so on. And that Nathan Williams was playing his guitar like a (noun) from (place) and his vocals sounded like (verb) with a (object) on a (animal).” I am just gonna stop and go do laundry. Journalism was never really my thing.
