Wavves
michaelicious:

I guess fuck this guy for suddenly finding himself famous thanks to Pitchfork? So glad they were able to set him up and then mock him when shit falls through.

Or maybe fuck this guy we invited him to play on our stage at a pretty big festival and he acted like a fucking dick.
Or maybe they just thought it was funny.

I'm reluctant to believe P4k set up Wavves for a meltdown, by which I mean I doubt it was known in advance that Wavves could not keep it together live. It seems like a demo or something made it out to the net and they seized on it. By all accounts Wavves has apparently been putting on shit live shows for some time since then.
It's not as though live show dysfunction is something Wavves can't get over. People still suck Chan Marshall's dick, don't they? Mark E. Smith's too. Not that I think Wavves is as good as anything either of those people have put out.
Koremora:
I'm not a Wavves fan (at all, I can't stand shitgaze), but I still think it's kinda shitty that Pitchfork was like, "This guy is AMAZING!" And then as soon as he fucks up, they post an article going, "Hahahahahaha look at this idiot what a failure he is everyone point and laugh." Inconsistent and bitchy move, Pitchfork.
Inlander:
Wait, so a festival schedules a band to start their set at fucking 2:20 in the morning and then everyone's surprised when they behave in a manner that sounds, basically, consistent with people who'd really much rather be sleeping?
Alex C:
See, I would hold more sympathy for that position if the man in question hadn't commented on how he was on ecstasy, valium and xanax while trying to perform in front of thousands of people. I don't give two shits about Wavves, but frankly I don't see what's really wrong with a music rag writing a negative commentary on a shitty performance that happened on a stage that they apparently sponsored. Also, I find the inconsistency argument to be a somewhat silly thing to bring up. Plenty of performers are talented but that doesn't mean they are incapable of crashing and burning on stage without anyone noticing. I have no love for the music industry but this guy sounds like he basically broke the cardinal rule and acted like a dick to strangers.
