Nathan Williams (aka Wavves) at SXSW 2009

So everyone on the planet has heard of Wavves by now, right? Insert eye roll Nathan Williams, alias WAVVES, has been a buzz child within the blogosphere for the past several months. Hes an overnight superstar in the underground indie world, having only played his first show on Halloween 2008, according to Spin Magazine. We chatted and bummed cigs to Nate after his show.

Best nathan williams era right here. The best

[@g19m38]

Meh.

[@beebee404]

The irony that he mentions not having to worry about 'Billy' when he did a year later

[@ghostbong]

i miss old wavves, but i still love him

[@xsadsappysuckr6710]

he's sitting in a fucking ice cream truck. so rad.

[@AbstracktAlias]

3:03 The interviewer kinda sounds like Donna from That 70's Show.

[@davidmiles8384]

I wish i could have the full version of that slowed down version of wavves he's playing at the very end of this video :(

[@emptRx]

Ive Literally thought that a millikn times

[@gangstaboo2202]

perfection at it's best.

[@TheCodyg95]

ironic how he claims recording alone is easier because he doesnt have to worry about turning 'billys' bass down. and later he records an entire album with a guy named billy in his band

[@washedpotatoes]

this man is too awesome for me to not be friends with him

[@Tecknee]

[@JCarlosOrtiz1]

If everybody's thinking the same thing, then nobody is thinking. I don't know, is everyone in the "scene" thinking the same thing? maybe, maybe not.
