Wavves Ban Racists, Homophobes, Trump Supporters From Shows
Pitchfork ^ | July 6, 2016 | Matthew Strauss

“id rather have a room half filled with good energy than one filled with hate. people are suffering every day and the way i see it you are either part of the solution or part of the problem.”

Wavves are getting ready to hit the road for a summer tour. Before they go, the band’s Nathan Williams wants to make clear whom he does and does not make music for, as well as whom he believes is welcome at Wavves shows. Today, he tweeted, “a few things i wanted to make clear,” and shared a long note that detailed six types of people who are “not welcome at a Wavves show:” Anybody who’s said or supported #AllLivesMatter, anybody who’s “gone out of [their] way to defend police in America,” people who blame rape victims, homophobes, racists, and Donald Trump supporters.

He acknowledges that he could lose fans, but concludes, “id rather have a room half filled with good energy than one filled with hate. people are suffering every day and the way i see it you are either part of the solution or part of the problem.” See Williams’ full note below, and check out Wavves’ upcoming shows here....

No idea who they are but it sounds like the backyard parties they’ll be playing will have small crowds.

“...Wavves are getting ready to hit the road for a summer tour...”

Their two biggest tour stops this summer are the Mutton Hollow Show in Mutton Hollow, TN...Then, their grand finale at the Lizard Lick Pub in Lizard Lick, NC....

They’re a second-rate hipster music group with a light following.

you are either part of the solution or part of the problem
So, Bill Cosby, welcome or not? Bill Clinton, welcome or not? Rape-enabler Hillary Clinton, welcome or not? Jihad-coddler Obama -- who refused to condemn the homophobic Ramadan jihadist in Orlando -- welcome or not?

Singer Nathan Williams experienced a public breakdown as the band was unable to complete their set at the 2009 Barcelona Primavera Sound Festival. Williams, who admitted he had 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 green 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.

They must be on the verge of bankruptcy. Last ditch effort to remain solvent.

As a kid I used to pee on wavves like them at Atlantic City. Bet they’ll never make it there.

At least the Dixie Chicks can sing and chew gum at the same time.
