Q: How many friggin’ bands can Zach Hill be in? A: As many as he likes, if they’re going to be as good as Chll Pll.
I wish Zach Hill could join my band. I don’t really have one, but if I did, and it meant that we would suddenly be churning out (and giving away for free!) six-minute punk songs with guitars that sound like turbines gargling salt and Hill’s drumming ostensibly acting as a punch in the nose to all the Brooklyn Vegan commenters, then that would be pretty rad.

Just two days before he was supposed to take the stage at New York’s Bowery Ballroom, his first performance since Primaveragate made him more of a weird indieweb celebrity/whipping boy than most thought possible, Wavves’ Nathan Williams shattered his wrist while skateboarding. He played the show in a cast and he played the Pitchfork Festival the same way. Both sets were rad. When he got home he hopped on the Internet to let us know a subsequent show at the Smell in LA was canceled—he had to have surgery. But, he also shared a new track: the Panda Bear-esque, Beach Boys mindspiral that is "Mickey Mouse."
Brand new unreleased jams from Wavves + Windsurf grace the new summer/beach-themed installment of the limited the FADER/Southern Comfort 7-inch series. Only 500 copies exist, but in the meantime, you can download both songs for free from the folks at Fader.
Usual quality mix from Burning World, including a track from.... Mambo Taxi! Go Delia!

Nathan Daniel William, known as Wavves, has been permeating the blog world with his jubilant punk/surf rock. His sound is incredibly raw and gives a definite nod to a past time, while still remaining completely young and relevant. In the eye of a California rock resurgence, Wavves firmly plants his flag. De Stijl Records writes of the prolific twenty-two year old,
