This warning goes out to all bands going on tour with Wild Nothing. You may party hard, but those guys party harder. Yes, I realize Jack Tatum and tourmates seem like they’re the presidents of The Cure fanclub. Yes, I realize that’s the not of kind of dudes that you think might party hard. Well, buddy, put on your “I’m wrong” hat, because you’re wrong. These guys make Van Halen look like Van Morrison and they may Van Morrison look like Van Morrissey. Van Morrissey is my Van Morrison and Morrissey cover band. We don’t party very hard.
Similarly-minded janglers DIIV are about to be in for a harsh lesson about partying. They’re accompanying Wild Nothing on their September tour of America. In actuality, they’re accompanying Wild Nothing on their September tour of UNITED STATES OF PARTYING. Also, Canada. In case you’ve forgotten from your own days of blackout drinking, Wild Nothing are releasing a new album called Nocturne on August 28 through Captured Tracks. All 10 songs are about keggers. Every song is about keggers. You’ve never heard a song in your life that wasn’t about keggers.
