<\/a><\/p>\nVocally, the group is incredibly diverse. Guitarists Cadien Lake James and\u00a0Clay Frankel share the lead vocals with bassist Jack Dolan, and they all have\u00a0distinctly different voices; somehow, it works.\u00a0The group keeps a killer cohesive sound even when switching lead singers every\u00a0song.<\/p>\n
Songs from both their releases, 2013\u2019s Sunken and 2014\u2019s Wild Onion were\u00a0brought to the stage. Hands down, the best song of their set was \u201cI Found A New\u00a0Way,\u201d the popular single from Wild Onion. Brodner doubled the tempo on his kit and\u00a0Colin Croom on keys lost his everlovin\u2019 mind while Lake, Frankel, and Dolan\u00a0convulsed in sweaty punk revelry, all the while keeping the track tight.<\/p>\n
The crowd responded well to this supporting act; hopefully Lawrence will be seeing\u00a0more of Twin Peaks in the near future.\u00a0Damn. Lawrence was ready for Wavves.<\/p>\n
As soon as the opening chord of Wavves set was struck, a\u00a0body was launched in the air and gave the audience permission to collectively lose\u00a0their minds. The backdrop consisted of a massive tapestry with a sideways, tie-dyed\u00a0Yin-Yang sign made to look like a face with a teardrop coming from the eye. Very\u00a0Wavves.<\/p>\n
For an hour the crowd bounced, crowd surfed and shoved around everyone within\u00a0arms reach. About a 50\/50 mix of PBR tall boys and smeared X\u2019s on hands defined\u00a0the rowdy crowd as singer-songwriter, Nathan Williams shredded through their\u00a0discography featuring a heavy amount of new material.<\/p>\n
The new music consisted of singles \u201cWay Too Much,\u201d \u201cHeavy Metal Detox\u201d and \u201cMy\u00a0Head Hurts\u201d from their upcoming album V. They also performed plenty of classics,\u00a0which really got this crowd going, like \u201cPost Acid\u201d and \u201cGreen Eyes\u201d, from 2010\u2019s\u00a0King of the Beach. As well as, performing \u201cAfraid of Heights\u201d and then closing out the\u00a0night with their most well known song \u201cDemon to Lean on\u201d both from 2013\u2019s Afraid\u00a0of Heights.<\/p>\n
Nathan sang with his hair draped over his eyes, periodically pulling his hair back in\u00a0between songs just to let it fall right back in front of his eyes. Guitarist, Alex Gates,\u00a0celebrated his birthday tonight with a beer holster belt loaded with Bud Light and\u00a0the crowd faithful broke out into happy birthday after the first song ended.<\/p>\n
Nathan\u2019s demeanor was somewhat stoic, but you could tell he truly cared about the\u00a0performance. While guitarist, Alex flailed and shredded all over the stage, Nathan\u00a0was much more meticulous about his movements and every song sounded just as\u00a0crisp and precise as the album recordings.<\/p>\n
Towards the end of the show during a song break a fan shouted out, \u201cFollow me on\u00a0Twitter!\u201d to which Nathan\u00a0responded in a deadpan tone, \u201cIf I get another add me on\u00a0Twitter, I\u2019ll f*cking kill myself.\u201d (pause) \u201cJust kidding, DM me.\u201d<\/p>\n

On September 20, playing to a crowd at The Granada that was rowdier than Sunday\u00a0night typically entails, the Chicago garage rock group Twin Peaks opened things up\u00a0with Miller High Life in hand. The dudes of Twin Peaks are supporting Wavves on their fall tour, and they\u00a0definitely have the energy to keep up. Drummer Connor Brodner upped the tempo multiple times in the evening and gave out such an influx of energy that you\u00a0couldn\u2019t help but grin — there\u2019s raw talent […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":252,"featured_media":37432,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,4,3268],"tags":[2086,2942,3582],"class_list":["post-37429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured-on-kjhk","category-music","category-music-articles","tag-concert-review","tag-twin-peaks","tag-wavves"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/wavves-extralarge_1371237057239.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/252"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37429\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
