The Underground Stage
Show Notes “Wawawow never disappoint. Every set I’ve seen them play has brimmed with creativity, weirdness, volume, and enough fizzing energy to light up a decent-sized city. This one is no different, except tonight we bid farewell to Shaun, their long-standing rhythmical core, and it’s as gonzo a set as you could ever wish to […]
“Wawawow do it like no-one else. The new LP is mad enough, but the live show is – perhaps unbelievably – even more insane. One long, unbroken stream of consciousness made into crazed future-psych, it’s like an adrenalin shot to the eyeball, or electrodes to the temples. Crazed, brilliant, unique.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“The Underground Stage and Wawawow started near about the same time, and I once wrote that an early track sounded like visiting some demented future. Time has not calmed them. Nine Inch Nails, Plastic Bertrand, and the soundtrack to the weirdest dystopian anime you can imagine collide head-on here like trucks and meteors. It produces […]
“I’m no stranger to Wawawow and their unique brand of Josh-Wink-fighting-Jane’s-Addiction bonkersness. It also never, ever, gets old. Always a joy, never a bore.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“It’s always such fun to write about Wawawow, essentially an exercise in thinking of fitting descriptors. Tonight’s selection will include “burbling”, “goon-eyed”, “demented”, “thrusting”, “retina-melting”, and “likely to cause a seizure”. Inventive lunacy for astronauts.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“First time seeing Wawawow this year. Won’t be the last. That pounding, swivelly-eyed, filthy, future-punk madness is *the* addictive drug of the years yet to come. Bonkers.”
“Wawawow just keep growing new teeth. This set doesn’t even pause for breath, and is relentless, urgent, and nutty bananas from start to finish. This is one hell of a show, like being pounded and stomped and loving every second.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“I’ve been waiting for *AGES* to see Wawawow and they certainly don’t disappoint. They’re quite clearly on a different plane to the rest of us – not a cool plane, not one where you get buckets of fans, but one where they don’t care, where the world is batshit and off it. Awesome.” Facebook | […]
