Priest + Drugs + Hookers = ???

Wavves is an American noise rock/surf punk band based in San Diego, California.

Wavves started in 2008 as the recording project of Nathan Williams. Wavves released several 7"s as well as a cassette leading up to the first two releases,Wavves (Woodsist) and Wavvves (Fat Possum/Bella Union). After gaining recognition, Ryan Ulsh was enlisted as a touring drummer and Wavves embarked on their first US and European tours. Wavves released their self-titled debut album in 2008, subsequently drawing the attention of Pitchfork Media.^[1][2]At the time, the band consisted of guitarist Nathan Williams and drummer Ryan Ulsh.

Their second full-length album, Wavvves, was released on February 3, 2009,^[3]and was well received by outlets such as Spin,^[4] The Onion A.V. Club,^[5] and Pitchfork.^[6]

Singer Nathan Williams experienced a public breakdown as the band was unable to complete their set at the 2009 Barcelona Primavera Sound Festival.^[7]Williams, who admitted he'd taken a cocktail of ecstasy and Valium, fought with drummer Ryan Ulsh and insulted the Spanish crowd, who then pelted him with bottles and a shoe. Apologizing for their performance, Williams admitted the next day that he was addicted to alcohol. As a result, the band canceled the remainder of their European tour.^[8] When Ulsh quit the band, Zach Hill fromHella replaced him as the drummer for Wavves for a brief time. Two members formerly of the late Jay Reatard's band, drummer Billy Hayes and bassist Stephen Pope, joined Wavves in November 2009.^[9] Williams also reported that an album featuring Zach Hill on drums was to be expected towards the end of 2010 along with a possible EP featuring Hayes and Pope.^[10]

Take: The hypocrisy of Superstition, Inc. The utter craziness of celibacy. Especially as it leads to "harder stuff" like narcotics & hookers.
