Live reviews

Wavves is a band that dominated the majority of my high school years. The ones that mattered, anyway. I finally got to see them at Lollapalooza in 2013 and it was one of the greatest moments of my life.

Five years is a relatively short time for a band to have such enormous success, however Nathan Williams somehow made it work. Lo-fi production at first due to limited resources, then kept to retain the feel of Williams' angst-ridden, self-deprecating lyrics helped lead a revival of surf rock. Relatable to youth on both coasts (I myself hailing from New York,) Wavves quickly found a niche market.

"King of the Beach" is considered to be their first cohesive album and unlike most lo-fi artists that suddenly change sound when they get produced, Wavves only got better and knocked out one of the most relevant youth albums of the decade.

Wavves' set at Lollapalooza was anticipated by a huge crowd of youth dressed in their festival best and ready to lose their minds in the music. When the bass was tuned to the opening riff of "Linus Spacehead" before the set even started the crowd went wild, proving that Wavves' fans are attentive and ready for anything. The set was opened with the newly infamous "King of the Beach" and also contained hits such as "Bug" and "Green Eyes" along with tracks from the new album such as "Demon to Lean On" and the title track "Afraid of Heights."

The crowd was filled with an eclectic group of various objects being thrown around, moshing, and crowdsurfers eagerly egged on by the band and led to an unforgettable experience.

I can honestly say that Wavves was the best concert of my life. The show stared with Swmrs who, while not very well known, got everyone jumping around and hyped for the night. Next was Twin Peaks who are a personal favorite so I already knew they would be awesome. They had amazing energy an very danceable songs which was perfect for the crowd. Finally, Wavves. starting out with Sail to The Sun was a smart decision because everyone was instantly singing along. There were tons of crowd surfers the entire night with members of Swmrs and Twin Peaks joining in with the crowd. It happens to be Stephen Popes 30th birthday so everyone sang to him which ended with a kiss from Nathan. After the show, Cadien of Twin Peaks was saying how whis night was for sure one of the craziest shows they've played. Even though I went home with sore legs and drenched in sweat it was a night that I never wanted to end.

I'M SO HAPPY I ATTENDED. It was way cooler than I expected (and I expected a lot). It was one of those concerts where they have only played a couple of songs but you have already decided that you are going to see them again as soon as you have the opportunity. Be aware that there is a mosh pit (security had to help a little girl that was being crushed)

Uhh Nathan fuckin Williams crowd surfed and I got to help hold him up, so that was pretty great. Also when I was crowd surfing at one point my phone definitely fell out of my pocket, but the crowd was really great and someone found it and turned it into the security for me! It was a really great show and I had an awesome time!

The overall show was fantastic; They kept a a steady energy throughout the whole set that made it IMPOSSIBLE for you to not want to move. Totally worth it. Although the venue had some sound difficulties, they didn’t stop and they continued to play. Bravo.

Awesome show! Didn't realize there'd be a mosh pit but in hindsight, it was appropriate. The openers Steep Leans and Twin Peaks were great, as well. Nathan seems like a chill dude. He was hanging out with the crowd earlier in the night.

It was a a great show. A less talk more rock show where they blasted through tons of songs. The crowd was energetic and it was an overall fun time. Good venue as well. I would definitely see wavves again if i get the chance.

It was super rad! I went with my best friend and we both had a blast. I want to see all of the hip bands again for sure. Hopefully you guys come back to NYC soon. Thanks for a rad tiempooo dudes :)

Jackie McCall

Awesome show, they played in Sacramento which isn't too common. New stuff and old but overall a good mix of their albums. Glad I got to see them live and was not disappointed, very energetic crowd and music.

WAVVES IN CONCERT:

Indie rockers Wavves make the best of their So Cal origins, blending hardcore punk fury with sunny surf melodies. The band sets itself apart from the rest of the indie scene with charmingly lo-fi pop tunes and sweet, passionate melodies belted out by frontman Nathan Williams. They’re a force of nature on stage -- the band tears into live staples like “So Bored”, “No Fun”, and “Afraid of Heights” to create gleefully chaotic jams, complete with heart-pounding tempos, overdriven guitars, and pummeling rhythms. Packed with all the giddy pop and punk attitude ticket buyers could want, Wavves’ one-of-a-kind shows are not to be missed whenever the band goes on tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

San Diego surf rock savant Nathan Williams (vocals/guitar) began Wavves as a lo-fi recording project, releasing his self-titled debut album directly to cassette in 2008. He smartly parlayed his preexisting presence as a hip hop blogger to generate buzz for the project, eventually drawing the critical attention of Pitchfork. On the way to his 2009 sophomore album Wavvves, he enlisted the help of drummer Ryan Ulsh to form a dedicated touring unit. After a falling out with Ulsh, Williams tapped drummer Billy Hayes and bassist Stephen Pope, formerly of the late Jay Reatard’s band. The trio produced the unexpectedly polished pop punk record King of the Beach, which Pitchfork named one of the best albums of 2010. The ‘90s alternative influenced Afraid of Heights followed in 2013, after which the frontman began touring with the solidified lineup of drummer Brian Hill and lead guitarist Alex Gates in addition to holdover bassist Pope. In 2015 Williams thrilled fans with the announcement of two new Wavves albums as well as a fall tour that will bring the group's punk enthusiasm and pop revelry to adoring fans across the country.

Balls to the walll rock!

This was the most amazing Wavves show ever. The crowd was feeling it. The band sounded ridiculously good.

Amazing Band, Terrible Venue

I was kicked out for stage diving after the third song. BS. Wavves was great, they even heard my request for said third song, so it was kinda worth it lol. Best stage dive ever too, lasted a good 10-15 seconds.

they are a must-see band, the crowds are always amazing too

Missed Cherry Glazer but Wavves and Best Coast both had good sets. Plenty of floor space for people to watch the show quietly or dance a little, without getting too out of hand.

Great show!

Ok, so I went - not too familiar with the acts, knew a couple of songs... Opening act Pussy Glazer, or whatever, not too exciting, although lots of screaming and cursing. Easily forgettable. Wavves dominate the show. Great energetic set. Won me over as a fan. I felt like I was seeing a young Social Distortion with that touch of Blink-182 in the mix. Lead guitar player is an awesome pleasant surprise, reminiscent of Bush noise/guitar leads. Best Coast is great. Less energy than Wavves. Play all the hits and more. Their songs are great, they were the most pro of the three bands, and held their own. Guitar player is very frenetic and watchable. I left a little early, but was able to see the major hits thanks to the mid-peak set list. Lots of mosh, lots of crowd surf, Garfield crowd surfed! No lasagna...

Wavves is honestly one of my most favorite bands. I have only seen them live once (October of 2015 in Boston), but it was an amazing experience. They're great performers and know how to put on a show. Plus Nathan is really cute :-)

Hands down one of the greatest concerts I've ever been to.

Super rad show. Good opener. Wavves sounded great. Cool new venue with killer lights.

GODS ON STAGE

JACUZZI BOYS WERE GREAT AND IT WAS MY FIRST LISTENING TO THEM AND THEY R GREAT. KING TUFF WAS AMAZING. HE'S A GREAT GUY ON STAGE AND OFF. WAVVES WERE UN FORGETABLE EVERY ONE SINGING ALONG LIKE 1 BIG WAVVEY FAMILY EITHER WAY UNFORGETABLE NIGHT

wavves was good but I went there to see king tuff. after his set I saw him by the bar and he was kind of dick, really harshed my buzz..

There’s no need to get sick of your summer this year. Wavves , the kings of noise rock and surfy goodness are bringing their best down under on a national tour!

Wavves U.S. tour dates 2021

Below, revisit Wavves’ 2009 Daytrotter performance of “To The Dregs” and “Horse Sholes. Keep scrolling for the complete list of tour dates.

Nathan Williams and his Southern California indie outfit Wavves will be touring America in 2021 to promote their new album Hideaway. The group’s 37 date outing kicks off with a stop at Dallas’ South Side Ballroom on October 12th before heading across the country hitting Seattle, LA, Brooklyn, and Washington DC. They’ll wrap up inside of San Diego’s Valley View Casino Center on November 29th after playing 20 shows including Miami Beach Amphitheater (11/6), Atlanta’s Coca-Cola Roxy Theatre (10/15) Houston House Of Blues (12/2).

How much are Wavves U.S. tour Tickets?

Answer: Prices for Wavves Concerts can vary depending on the venue, as do any concerts. The more expensive the tickets, the better your seats 

Variability of ticket prices is dependent on how close or far away you are from the stage and where you want to sit in relation to other audience members. For example, cheaper tickets might offer seats in a balcony that’s high up in relation to other seated general admission attendees while those closer to down-front might be much pricier because they provide a direct face-to-face experience with band members.

A typical concert will cost around $25 per head with higher-priced shows being upwards of $150 per head if not more than $200 . Use ticket aggregator.

What is Wavves net worth?

In May 2018, Forbes estimates Nathan Williams’s net worth to be about 1.5 million dollars . His income and earnings are mainly from his role in the music band Wavves , which has released 5 studio albums with Universal Music Group as of April 2018.

Fortune estimated that Wavves has an annual revenue of $20 million for 2015-2016, though it is unclear how much this excludes album sales/licensing opportunities from third-party distribution deals.

Business Insider published a list of Kanye West’s net worth ranked by celebrity sources at the time and following his most current economic burden – Forbes listed him as being fourth on their list at approximately 32 million dollars in February 2009 .

How to get Wavves T-shirts?

Wavves T-shirts are now available on Amazon.

The benefits of ordering off amazon are huge for sure. The shipping is usually free, and the prices are pretty competitive as well most of the time– especially if you have Prime membership. You can also do a lot more digging into reviews (it’s way easier to read through 1 or 2 negative reviews when you’re not debating yourself), check out “similar items” / other related items (you might find something even better!) and get almost instant feedback from their recommendations engine with clicks like “I tried it!” 🙂

Classic Europe

Amazing experience. Unforgettable.

Britain and Ireland Delight (Summer, 10 Days)

The experience with cost saver was wonderful. The tour Director Anthony was very informative, friendly and accommodating. We saw so much that it was hard to comprehend. Very much enjoyed the hotels, the included excursions and the extra excursions that were optional. I would travel with them again.

• Christmas & New Year

The Great Adventure

Israel was an amazing guide. My only critique would be how I was shuffled into other tours but with different timetables

Rome to Berlin: Piazzas, Prague & the Past

Great diversity of countries and cities but WAY too fast paced. One night in Slovenia and Poland was ridiculous and with travel time some days we spent less than 15 hours in the city. The guide was a but inexperienced so we didn't have a good description of some of the cities. Great way to make friends and see cities! Would recommend going end of August or later as it was still very hot going through the cities!!

Best of Central Europe

It was my very first Intrepid trip and I enjoyed every moment of it. It was more than I expected! I loved the chemistry of the group (I miss them dearly), the accommodation location as well as the included activities. Being in a small group also has a lot of advantages like getting to know each of them personally and build friendships even after the trip. I was just so glad I took the trip through Intrepid!

European Delight

Overall I, and my companions, enjoyed the trip however there were some significant elements which we were not happy with. On the TWO itineraries we received for Rome the following was noted: "08.30hrs- In the morning, we have a scenic tour of the city, which will be a great introduction to “The Eternal city”. We enter the tinystate of the Vatican. The Vatican City is a principal centre of Christianity in the world. You will be able to visit St. Peter’s Basilica. And wehave also included admission to the Roman Coliseum, the principal symbol of Rome.’ Day 2: Rome TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTS: City tour of Rome. Roman Coliseum (admission price included). It’s clear from the above two notes that we would visit the Coliseum – admission included! Yet, we did NOT visit the Colosseum but walked through the less interesting and impressive Forum. We were very disappointed as the Colosseum was one of the sites we were looking forward to visiting. We were not aware of Europamundo's 'circuit' format which required we frequently changed coaches, drivers and tour directors. This was somewhat disconcerting as we were required to remember which bus we were on and who our director was at a time when we were on holidays and looking for something of a stress free vacation. Most of the tour directors were excellent, though we found the second director, who travelled with us from Innsbruk to Prague, was at times brusque and seemed to prioritise Spanish-speaking travellers when they joined us. We were disappointed that most of the options were not raised with us - except the option to Moulin Rouge because tickets had not been pre-booked. Similarly, we waited hours to access the Eiffel Tower because tickets had not been pre-purchased despite the fact that it was part of the trip rather than an option. We had pre-paid for a canal trip in Amsterdam, however it wasn't mentioned by the director and so we missed out on that. We were reimbursed. Though we enjoyed the trip and cities we visited, for the reasons above I wouldn’t choose Europamundo for future vacations,.

What people love about Europe Tours

Great experience. Very fun.

The Classic Europe tour with Expat was amazing. Everything was very convenient and well organised. Adam our tour guide and Florin our driver did wondeful jobs to make sure we saw and did everything on schedule and gave us special treats with some extra free times to enjoy the places where they could. We had such a great time with the tour itself and the people we met in the tour group were very lovely and we kept in touch. This tour sets such a high standard for our next trips! Definitely 5 stars service and we will definitely join Expat tour again in future.

Autism makes travel a challenge. Here’s how I learned to cope

Busy places and unexpected events used to send me into meltdown on holiday. An autism diagnosis helped me to adapt my plans and rediscover the joy of travelling

W andering hand-in-hand through the medieval streets of Bologna, my boyfriend and I were in awe of the sweeping porticoes and distinctive rust-red brickwork of the city. It was our first holiday together. We’d wanted to find somewhere beyond the obvious that would marry our respective interests in architecture and history. Bologna was the perfect fit.

We admired the Church of Santa Maria della Vita , with its imposing baroque interior, lavishly decorated in colourful frescoes and marble carvings. We caught a little red and blue express train up into the hills to the Santuario della Madonna di San Luca , and climbed the bell tower of the Basilica di San Petronio for panoramic views across the city.

But after one particularly long, hot day on our feet, with our stomachs clamouring to be fed, my mood began to shift. With the setting of the sun came the rising of my rage, as we struggled to agree on where we wanted to eat. In a city nicknamed La Grassa (“the fat one”), we weren’t lacking in options; in fact, it was the sheer number of well-reviewed eateries that was overwhelming.

Eventually we decided on pizza, and my boyfriend anxiously led us through sun-dappled alleyways, seeking out a little hole-in-the-wall spot with stellar reviews on Google. Looking back now, I’m ashamed of my reaction once we arrived. Instead of excitedly tucking into the steaming, cheese-drenched deliciousness before me, I burst into tears, refusing to order. And why?

Because they were slices .

In my mind, getting pizza meant that we’d be presented with a whole pizza. The idea of just grabbing a slice or two felt abhorrently wrong. It truly felt to me, in that moment, like I was being asked to do the impossible. Instead, we had to find a standard bistro and get me the right kind of pizza. Scrolling through photographs from that trip for this article, I find a snapshot of my boyfriend opposite me at the table, looking as if he’d just (barely) survived the fury of the Visigoths during the sacking of Rome.

It wasn’t until three years later – in spring 2020, when I was diagnosed as autistic – that this fragment of my life story, and many others like it, finally began to make sense.

B eing autistic means that life is a challenge, every day, in myriad tiny ways most others cannot see. Autistic people often grapple with sensory, social and communication challenges that manifest differently in each of us. As a toddler, for instance, I couldn’t stand the touch of grass on my skin. My parents could pop me down on a blanket by our tent during camping trips, safe in the knowledge that I wouldn’t stray. The same went for sand – putting me down to build a sandcastle on the beach only led to banshee-esque wailing until someone picked me up. When I got older, I preferred to stay by the tent and read my books than risk the chaotic din of the campsite playground. I’ve also always found it difficult when confronted with the unexpected. That could be anything, from a last-minute change of plans to something simply not turning out the way I’d pictured it in my head.

Relentlessly busy places are a terrifying prospect for those of us predisposed to sensory overwhelm. The best way I can describe how I experience this sensation is to ask you to imagine that the whole world has climbed into your chest. It then sits there, heavy and loud and bright, thrumming with energy, too much energy, more than any one person could hold within themselves. And yet, that’s what’s expected of us, day in, day out.

Fortunately, societal awareness of how autistic people interact with public spaces has grown over the past few years, thanks to the rise of lived experiences shared on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. The thriving autistic creator communities online were a lifebelt for me when I was first diagnosed, providing both insights into my own behaviour and suggesting coping mechanisms.

Initiatives such as the sunflower lanyard scheme are also having a real impact on how employees in train stations, airports, bus terminals and so on are trained in making these places more accessible to those with hidden disabilities. What I have learned is that many challenges can be overcome with sufficient planning and support from those around me. Through much trial and error over the last four years, I’m making real progress towards learning how to adapt my holiday plans to accommodate my needs. I now have a self-made kit for mitigating sensory overwhelm that I take with me whenever I travel: sunglasses, noise-isolating earplugs, noise-cancelling headphones, a fidget toy or two and a safe food to snack on (a favourite cereal bar, for example). Having avoided meltdowns by using these items in the past, I now can’t imagine travelling without them.

The process of writing my book, The Autistic Guide to Adventure , has provided many useful insights too. Designed to introduce younger readers from the autistic community to a variety of different outdoor activities, the book suggests how to best approach them from sensory, social and communication perspectives.

Take kayaking, for instance, a popular holiday activity in the UK thanks to our miles upon miles of public waterways and easily accessible coastline. I’ve kayaked on family holidays since a young age. Before I knew I was autistic, however, I’d never have thought to give myself extra time to get used to sitting in a new boat in a new location, testing the feel of a buoyancy aid or holding the paddle properly. Yet something as simple as taking the opportunity to do that – on dry land, before the kayak even gets near the water – can make a real difference to how comfortable and confident an autistic person might feel about trying this new activity. Most activity providers are understanding and would be happy to facilitate this, if you let them know in advance.

Other simple adaptations to recreational activities include using walking poles for all levels of hiking – not only on mountains – and bringing an inflatable for wild swimming. These help to maintain balance, something that many autistic people find hard because of difficulties regulating their vestibular system.

There will never be one single trip or destination that’s perfect for every autistic person, because our individual strengths, struggles and support needs are so different. But if we each plan ahead and choose what to do or where to go based on our known sensory sensitivities, communication preferences and social battery life, every trip has the potential to be perfect just for us .

M ost recently, my boyfriend and I took a much-anticipated trip to the Arctic Circle, visiting Tromsø. There’s a key difference between this holiday and our stay in Bologna five years earlier: the weather. It’s common for autistic people to have strong preferences when it comes to temperature – in my case, I’ll always choose cold over hot.

That’s why Tromsø in December was a sensory dream for me. Plunged into polar night, the light was never brighter than a muted lilac haze for a few short hours around midday. The temperature was consistently below freezing; the snow lay piled in marshmallow-soft heaps along pavements and roadsides. It was as far a cry from the lively streets and humid air of summer in Bologna as you could get, and it was perfect.

Learning from previous experience, we planned exactly where we wanted to eat during the trip. We spent several cheerful mealtimes huddled by the fire pit at Raketten Bar and enjoyed Pølse , a hotdog stand in a sunshine-yellow kiosk dating back to 1911.

Autistic people often prefer the company of animals to other humans, but it’s not something I’d ever thought to factor into my travel plans before. In Tromsø, we ended up spending three out of our five days on activities involving animals: huskies, whales and reindeer. It was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we could have made.

The joy of losing myself in a frenzied pack of newfound canine friends radiates from my face in photos from the day we went husky sledding.

Given that travel is something I treasure, it’s a relief to realise that my ability to do it is not limited by being neurodivergent. On the contrary, I truly believe some of my many travel experiences have been – and will continue to be – enhanced by the fact that my brain works on a different wavelength. When I close my eyes, I can still see the play of lavender light on the snow-capped mountains surrounding Tromsø. I’m immediately transported back to a place that felt like home to my soul, soothed without having to take even a step outside.

Wavves Albums

Ever since 2008, Wavves has gone on to release seven full studio albums that have found their place in the hearts of fans.

Their debut and self-titled album, Wavves , was originally released as a cassette. But fans and producers discovered the band and quickly gave them the backing to rerelease the album in an LP/CD format. This album features 12 tracks on the original cassette with 2 more being added in the later rerelease.

And while the band had fans at this early point and with their followup album, Wavvves , it wasn’t until their third album that they first broke into the top music charts.

King of the Beach was released on August 3, 2010 under Fat Possum Records. The album was also released as a digital download on July 1 as a result of early leaks. Pitchfork placed the album on their “The Top 50 Albums of 2010” list. And it later peaked at 28 on US Indie album lists. Nathan Williams confirmed on Twitter that the album featured mostly material that were originally demos that he wrote with drummer Zach Hill.

Their most recent album “Hideaway” was released on July 16, 2021. This was the band’s first album since “You’re Welcome” which was released four years prior. The themes of the album were said to be inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was met with favorable reviews with NME calling the album “Wavves’ most original and varied work yet”. While some critics complained that the album didn’t quite reach its potential citing hooks and melodies. But overall, it was a strong showing from a band that had fans hungering for more sick Wavves material.
