wavves performing "So Bored" at SXSW09 [HD]

[gambadude]

no bass player?

[ultrajuan100]

QUE! Y POR QUE AFINA SU GUITARRA

[tremulant2388]

Yeah, they played at my school and completely left stage for at least 10 minutes because they needed to smoke a bowl in their van. This is not even a year ago. Songs are fun. I'm just glad I don't hang out with them.

[RandellWashington]

@tremulant2388 what???????? your gay. get hit by a bus, i always listen to their music high. i wish i was their friend. haha

[cyrcles00]

@tremulant2388 ha ha when I saw them, they set up everything then disappeared for about five minutes. Everyone around me (myself included) came to the conclusion that they were probably going to smoke a quick joint; however, they came back with a set list. They only left to choose what songs to play ha ha

[danuk4000]

i like some wavves songs but this sucks.. ive seen better live performaces and my local coffee shop

[RandellWashington]

@danuk4000 yea, but thenn again. they dont give a fuck. thats wavves, and thats why i love em

[danuk4000]

@RandellWashington you dont get signed to fat possum if you dont give a fuck

[danuk4000]

@RandellWashington you dont get signed to fat possum if you dont give a fuck

[danuk4000]

@danuk4000 theres a difference between putting out the impression that you dont give a fuck, and actually not giving a fuck

[ANDYphoenix1993]

He writes simple songs. So what? They're catchy and noisy as hell, and that's what makes them rule!

[vanouro]

@JayMalone the beatles suck you faggot

[ianjoelol]

what pedal he use??

[LessThanJayson]

Wavves forever, man!!!

[mcboltron]

this video has inspired me to stared a fuuzzyybuzzy/bedroom-punk/dank­-core/douche-gaze band called FISSHEYELENZ and it would have some sort of stylized font.

[NeonNeckFace]

I love Wavves 

[neonservice]

I love this song, but I think he could've sung it a tad better..

[shit311]

theyre rad live (or same as studio recording)

[leikia123]

i want the album with zach hill  :_: been waiting forever for that shit

[MrSk848]

Camera?

[gasmostarda000]

@MrSk848

sony Z1 with fish eye lens.

[xXGhostReaverXx]

@gasmostarda000 WITH A MUTHAFUCKIN FISHEYE LENS!

[tsg0306]

has anyone noticed how often he wears that shirt?

[Srose777]

@tsg0306 yeah I totally agree.

He wore it in chicago last time he was here (Sept 19?). I'm interested to see if it makes a reappearance Feb. 8th with Best Coast

[jamesandjackproducts]

@tsg0306 He only wears it because its lucky. The night of Barcelona, he almost wore it, be decided not to.

[Clithero]

I dont get how this hipster shit has ANYTHING to do with Wavves? The band image is to different for hipsters.

[gabefacekillah]

im so sick of people disavowing any music that someone says is hipster. hipsters do exist and yes they suck, but they dont have a monopoly on good music. saying you dont like a band because another group of people like it makes you sound kind of like.....a hipster

[nzwwefan]

@gabefacekillah I was talking to a musician a few days ago and he thinks that the real hipsters are the ones that have no contribution to the culture. Hipsters aren't the musicians or the painters, but the ones who contribute nothing but think they know more than someone else, so they clearly have nothing to give to society but a selfish sense of superiority.

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

@nzwwefan i agree that is a hipster some one who thinks they know it all and are better than every one else but have nothing to show for it but a pair of jeans that either are from paris or from a good will store

ontop of that they come from rich homes and act like bums fuck them

[xXGhostReaverXx]

@gabefacekillah Your exactly right.

[nzwwefan]

Gotta love that blue Mustang

[TheFunctionsMusic]

@nzwwefan mega love!

[ihatecarebears1]

waVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEZ! yayayaayyaya

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

i dont get why every one has a prob with wavves on here i mean i dont know the guy maybe he is a asshole maybe hes not maybe hes a hipster so what?

i listen to music for the music if the person who is playing is a asshole then so what? if they are a hipster so what?

dont support the person

[putdownan8dude]

man this band would suck to drum for. no fun at all there. get a drum machine, hipster!

[Stevebob206]

I don't know what everyone is talking about......this sounds fucking fantastic.

[shit311]

their guitar is a killer. i got stabbed in the back

[alex549]

why the fuck did they film this with a fisheye? lol

[acid999]

@alex549 effing hipsters

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

@alex549 why not? fish eyes are awesome

[zoltar5282]

Leave the kid alone. He's touring and seeing the world.

His songs remind me of sitting in my room with my guitar and my amp way loud and just letting out all my frustration. Pretty cool.

[Havenscope]

Wavvves is one of the few excellent albums of 2009, but if people want to hate Wavves because of Nathan's breakdown and supposed generally assholish disposition, that's fine and, I suppose, understandable. People tend to forget, however, that the music is not the person, and therefore shouldn't be appreciated based on the person.

[PshicoTiago]

i love this music!!!!!! it never makes me feel bored!

[ripmeganmeier]

Who cares what other people think? If you like something, listen to it.

[brothersport92]

@ripmeganmeier nailed it

[BAOLEPT1]

VERY NOISE!

[BLACKBEARDSBOOMBOX]

This seems pretty simple and goes without saying.. Do what the fuck you want, and listen to what you want. Who cares who else likes it or dislikes it, you cant stop the dirty cock!

[trudingo]

Wavves is sick. I think he does a great thing.

[jaredGL]

Wavves is for tools/bros. This is a fact. I hate you all for falling victim to such a sham. This disgrace to all modern music should himself and leave lo fi where it should be. Out of the hands of California dickholes who think listening to one Husker Du album qualifies them to play three pop chords and call it a song.

[jaredGL]

@jaredGL *kill himself. This is the most important part of all that.

[tunaqnl]

@jaredGL

wow, you must not understand at all.

[jaredGL]

@tunaqnl no i dont understand how people even like this guy after more than one listen. Sorry man, but theres better stuff than tool music like wavves. like seriously, i bet you listen to japanther. Lofi does not have to be generic garage shit.

[tunaqnl]

@jaredGL

haha the bands i've been into lately are Girls, The XX, Eat Skull, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Best Coast, and Vivian Girls.

i really wavves though.

[TheSasha555]

If Pitchfork says this is cool than this is one of the best things I've ever heard.

[tunaqnl]

@TheSasha555

okay

[sk8in4god]

@TheSasha555 stop posting that on every single wavves video

[L2daO2daZ]

best venue of all time!!!!!

[evanrtheriot]

Wow. jaredGL. Why don't you shut the fuck up? Wavves is great. Why can't you like good music? Bye bye.

[jaredGL]

@evanrtheriot Wavves is far from great, even by your standards. He's not even "cool" any more. A tiny blip on the summer of chill wave. I give them another EP and maybe another studio album before the public abandons them completely.

Have fun defending this asshole with no fresh hipster pussy to show for it faggot.

[aselfishimpulse]

haha wow, all you people hating on wavves, leave the dude alone. he's just a kid making for music FOR FUN, and some other people happen to like it, CAUSE IT'S FUN. what are you doing, talking shit on the internet? cool, at least he's making music..

[jaredGL]

@aselfishimpulse

yeah ok fine. His music is fun. But as far as originality goes, there's nothing here. Artistic merit is not present in anything wavves does.

[chichileeroo]

why do so many people dislike him? he writes great, simple pop gems

[HForHeiny]

Because he's right handed yet his watch isn't on his left hand.

[jaredGL]

@chichileeroo because ramones, redd kross, squeeze, fugazi, jay reatard, bradford cox and countless others did it/do it WAY better.

Pop music isnt always about being simple, asshole. Anyone and everyone can fucking be "great, simple."

[chichileeroo]

@ jaredGL hahaha thanks dude!!! you obviously know what your talking about, and of course this needs to be expressed over youtube so everybody can see how intelligent and switched on you are. I appreciated being called an asshole for no apparent reason btw that was a good touch. keep up the good work mate

[jaredGL]

@chichileeroo I think it's a credit to how phony wavves is when his own fans cant even defend his music other than "it's simple." Every person that has replied to anything Ive said has done little more than try to bash me personally. PROTIP: If you are influenced to write songs like wavves does, dont. Music is about expression, not selling out and releasing generic pop songs that mean nothing. PROTIP 2: Listen to No Age (the band wavves rips off every song) instead.

[roqfreak97]

@chichileeroo can i get the fyi why people dont like him? im lost he sounds cool i wont judge him just his music its cool but why do people hate him.?

[stickynachos]

@chichileeroo So many people dislike because, as a person, he's kind of a douche. Don't get me wrong, I love Wavves and Nathan Williams all the same. But people who have met him say he's a dick, which I don't know if that's true or not.

[tunaqnl]

hey jared, why don't you go listen to creed and get the fuck out. wavves are awesome and that cd they put out is one of my favorites.

[jaredGL]

@tunaqnl Ok, Im sorry that I indicted wavves on giving modern lofi a terrible image. You dont really care about all that, though, youre happy with uninteresting sound and horrendous band aesthetic. Which just goes to show that I enjoy music on a different level than you so it doesnt even matter if i listened to creed. I still win bitch

[Cms1177]

hey man just let the guy make his music and listen to what you want to listen to

its as easy as that.

No need for negativity. Pce Brother.

[monsieurgrunt]

creed? CREED? fuck... CREED?!

[jaredGL]

@monsieurgrunt You sir, are and idiot :3

[argybargy79]

@jaredGL lmfao you are trying way too hard. it's fucking youtube man. not a soapbox for you to stand on and pontificate about how everyone else's opinion is "wrong". You are a tool.

[beefchoy]

woah woah my gentle niggers, its all about BEATERS

[jaredGL]

God dude I have garage band and im a califonia bro. Let me shit out this disposable record that impresses pitchfork but makes me a laughing stock to my contemperaries.

[tunaqnl]

@jaredGL

speak your opinion, man. it's all good. i hate tons of bands too. i just happen to really like wavves. i like the messy guitar and lo-fi sound. it has nothing to do with being a hipster or whatever the fuck you think it is. it's all about making good new music.

the shit black lips have put out in the past couple of years have sucked dick. my opinion.

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

@tunaqnl yeah im so sick of these people coming out saying how much wavves suck because there hipsters

do they?? alot of them do but not all of them just like all people arent bad

i like the wavves because there songs are cacthy and very relatable

i think its the new fad to hate people that a large number of people hate and its very childish / sheepish makes people look no bettter than hipsters

[qrstrex]

everyone hates on wavves damn chill

[cgheezey1]

this band is gay

[Maincozofmysmile]

boring song

[Obakedake]

woosh

[jaredGL]

This tool WOULD use that chord progression. Protopunkfag.

[Phatlove123]

yeah chord progressions are totally lame

[HForHeiny]

Yeah, everyone knows chords are for tools

[jaredGL]

@Phatlove123, @HForHeiny, Yeah Man, fuck chords and chord progressions thats exactly what I said!

sorry your precious overhyped overrated wavves is so much of a faggot that he uses the most watered down formulas in pop music. Dude get this fucker on stage with the Black Lips and we got ourselves the two biggest indie throwaway bands of all time. It seems that just about the only people that defend wavves are dunces and pitchfork.

[nofx84]

settle down man they aren't THAT bad, maybe a little overrated but they have a nice sound. No one is nominating them for a grammy or any awards for that matter.

[TANSD]

Old video, Zach Hill is the new drummer. Any video that does not have Zach Hill is pre-Barcelona...

[Joshspencer21]

not every

[abluesman100]

yeah well now any video without Jay reatards band is old

[alotofcheese76]

this osng makes me chuckle.

[MRINTERDOG]

you couldn't do it

[spacebat28]

you're right, i couldn't. i'm not Wavves. but i could produce a pretty close facsimile without too much trouble.

also, i didn't say that i don't like them, just that they are highly overratted & don't compare favourably with the hype surrounding the band.

[uncletaters666]

overated? everyone says they suck

[jimjamjames82]

some in awe

[ELARROCK]

thanks.

[soofreshh]

his guitar sounds so good live

[ELARROCK]

what type of guitar is that?

[Strummersuncle]

Fender Mustang

[Dessna32]

blue mustang im guessing recent

[gnarly6154]

mustang, fender

[78GoodBloke78]

One of the best albums I've heard in a long time.

I really hope he gets his shit together soon.

[johnchambers555]

chords from "wave of mutilation" by Pixies... just sayin

[HouseFire23]

no one cares

[pizzaisfuntoeat]

@johnchambers555 rock n roll can you dig it?

[BackPorchPoet4]

@johnchambers555 no. the chords for wave of mutilation are F A A#.

[itstrickett09]

@johnchambers555 chords from alot of songs... just sayin

[kenshin2na]

[TeamZissou88]
