It seems like all has been forgotten since the Wavves debacle at Primavera fest. In case you forgot to watch the video again this morning, Wavves main man Nathan Williams freaked out on the sound guy and drummer Ryan Ulsh walked off stage while Williams yelled "Come back here, motherfucker, we're not done yet!" For a few days, it was up in the air whether or not Williams could continue, especially after European dates were being canceled.
Well, the band still exists and Ulsh still plays in the band. In fact, Williams has also made a friend of Zach Hill (Hella, Nervous Cop, CHLL PLL), and the two have started playing and recording together. It is unknown whether or not this will come out as Wavves or a brand new project, but there has been talks of doing a full-length LP together. Two tracks have been made available so far, but you'll have to go visit Pitchfork to check them out: click here for "Cool Jumper" and here for a live video of the track "Hula Hoop."
In September, Wavves will hit the road for a month-long tour across the U.S. They will be joined by Ganglians, who have a new hyped-up album on Woodsist/Weird Forest. Check it:
