Thanks to The Mighty LZA Valentines Day has been one of my favorite holidays over the years. \u00a0This one was no exception. \u00a0Liz likes Wavves quite a bit. \u00a0I do to some degree. \u00a0We both really like seeing live music so going to the Fox was an easy date for us. \u00a0We started things off with a good wholesome family dinner (pot roast) then Liz and I headed out and had a couple beers before the show at Abos.\"\"After walking in to the Fox I saw the ultra trendy Wavves shirt with an upside down cross. \u00a0Really? \u00a0After I asked the merch booth if Wavves was satanic (they knew it was a joke) we went in to check out the first band.\"\"<\/a>The first band was called No Love. \u00a0They obviously love My Bloody Valentine. \u00a0They were good, loud and played hard. \u00a0Probably actually the best band of the night.\"\"<\/a>Wavves came out with face makeup on. \u00a0I’m not sure if they were going for a Kiss or clown look, but it was sweated off pretty quickly. \u00a0Not that you can see it from the crappy cell phone picture anyway.\"\"<\/a>I’m not going to lie and say I was overly impressed with Wavves. \u00a0They weren’t able to reproduce the same quality noise that’s on their albums, they messed up songs, and every song was played faster then the recorded versions (this isn’t always bad). \u00a0They did bring a lot of energy though. \u00a0I think they are the NOFX of indie noise rock. \u00a0You know, it’s a good entry level band, but once you figure out they don’t have all that much talent you move on. \u00a0But who am I to say? \u00a0I’m just old and this show made me feel old. \u00a0Good thing I’m going to Sebadoh tonight, there will be lots of old people! \u00a0Oh, and does anyone else think the chord progression in Wavves song “Idiot” is a complete rip off of Dinosaur Jr’s “Freakscene”?\"\"<\/a>Last up was Best Coast. \u00a0I didn’t know much about them, but a few songs in were all I needed. \u00a0They are decent, but it’s not something I’ll ever get into. \u00a0I listened to enough Letters To Cleo back in the 90s.All in all a fun night. \u00a0Liz is the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
