Wavves – “Welcome To Daytrotter”

Wavves – “To The Dregs/Horse Sholes”

Wavves – “Hula-Hoop”

So ever since we did our boring ass 13 questions with Nathan Williams, we’ve been playing email-tag back and forth. For those of you who haven’t been following Nathan Williams’ bumpy (but awesome) music “career”, he’s the kid with the broken arm in a cast from a skateboard fall with the fucked up haircut ala Vanilla Ice stripes from that band Wavves who got in some goofy fights with redneck garage rock hillbillies who like to say “FAGGOT” way more than we do (and that’s alot), has a blog where he gives away demos and links lots of hip-hop videos and ended up canceling a European tour cuz he mixed MDMA with some Xanax before going on stage. And that’s when he told the massive festival crowd “Ok Ok, one at a time” as they all yelled at him to play a song. The difference between me fucking up in my 20’s and this dude blowing it now is the wonderful invention of YOUTUBE!

Haha, I love this kid cuz he’s REAL TALK man. But Nate, for future reference – DUDE, you take the Xanax when you’re coming down, not on the way up! Amateur-hour here!, Homeboy confessed to us he’s been reading Buddyhead since he was 11 (and I swear that doesn’t make me feel old AT ALL), and that not only did he read our bullshit music site but he used to own one of our signature “Homophobia Is Gay” shirts… that is until his shitty ex girlfriend stole it from him! Hey Nathan, you can finally buy a new one in the new Buddyhead Online Merch Store @ http://www.buddyhead.com/store.

The main thing Nathan kept bringing up to us in the emails was how he wanted to “do an interview with Buddyhead and get shit faced during it.” Plus he was down to buy all the drinks,  (and you think we’re not into free drinks?). But alas, I extended that invite weeks ago and haven’t heard anything in return so I guess either Mr. Wavves is too busy shopping for more neon clothes or hes’ just plain-’ol  scared to party with Buddyhead. Come on, are we really that scary? No, we’re not! So what gives, Nate?

Ok, now over to Daytrotter. You wanna know my take on these guys? They have a really cool site and offer a great service but they REALLY need some help picking the talent. I care to hear about 1 in 50 of the bands they have on their site. Hey Daytrotter, I’ll help you get real bands if you’re humble enough to let me. Shoot me an email @ travis@buddyhead.com and let’s do cool shit together man. The best thing about Daytrotter sessions are the cartoons. Sure the exclusive live version of songs is pretty keen too but I love it when someone you know and love gets turned into a cartoon, like Dios did TWICE – HERE and HERE.

Anyways, even though Nathan is scared to party with me I’m never one to hold a grudge. Plus I’m honestly excited to see what Wavves do next now that Zach Hill (from Hella) is behind the drum-kit of this two-man band. The last record Nathan made was unique enough. It was kind of interesting the first couple listens but not something I’d ever throw on and listen to (now if I was 17 years old I’d prolly be amped on this shit). But I always thought that when Nathan spoke in interviews he was genuine and totally just out to have a good time and be a real person. And in his line of work, (alot like in my line of work), that’s surprisingly rare (so in some weird way, I relate with this dude).

Plus I think adding a drummer like Zach Hill into the songwriting mix is totally gonna up the ante and just make everything a bit more solid. And this is almost like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, but I bet all the money I have in the bank (which ain’t shit) that Zach won’t cry like a pussy every time Nathan goes off or just does some dumb shit (which is what people do when they’re in their 20’s – dumb shit and/or fuck up) plus I’m gonna guess he hits the drums WAY harder than the dude before who did cry when Nathan went off! Good call man, drop all the crybabies, complainers and whiners off at the next stop… Don’t threaten anyone with a good time.

And for the record, even though I kinda already covered this above, when you’re in your 20’s you fuck up, do dumb embarrassing shit and hopefully learn from it. At least that was my experience with my 20’s cuz I fucked up and did a lot of dumb shit. In fact my stories smoke anything you’ve had pop up in the press so far, so as far as I’m concerned you’re doing alright… now all you gotta do is make a good record and for some reason I believe in you man. Fuck, what am I, some Henry Rollins meet Andrew WK dork who’s giving motivational speeches to up- and- coming artists? And what’s with this Wavves kid being scared to get wasted with me? Come on Nate-Dawg, it’s not like I’m in league with Michael Jackson as far as the kinda shit I’m messing with! I’ve just got a few years on you in the tolerance department! No biggie man. Let’s do this, bud!
