Wavves / FIDLAR / Cheatahs: Live review Mar 29,2013

After a brief intermission, fellow So Cal garage punk/pop cohorts Wavves blasted in with an equally relentless 52min set (no encore, apparently not ‘punk’ to do so). “Idiot” appropriately started their set, only to be hindered early on, by lack of a channel in singer Nathan Williams’ monitor speakers. "Bug," from 2011’s Life Sux EP followed by "Take on the World" next, before the band played its recent and maybe most accessible song to date, "Demon to Lean On”, from the new ‘Afraid of Heights’ which understandably got a noisy positive response, despite being so early into the set.

Wavves – Wavvves

Once the hype machine roars to life, it's nearly impossible to ignore. Either you the spectator are borne up in its jaws, clamped irreversibly, or, arms akimbo, you stand and squint skeptically at all the chrome and gears. The poor Nathan Daniel Williams, sole member of Wavves, is clenched tight in this monster's gnarled fist. A dewy 22 years of age, Williams is already on album number two and is wading over to album three.
