WAWAWOW
UPSTAIRS / TICKETS $10+BF
Following their critically acclaimed 2020 debut LP Pink Elephant which reached the top of 2SER's Favourite Releases of 2020, Sydney's psych-junk outfit WAWAWOW are back with brand new material and a fully revamped live show.
WAWAWOW have a name to suit the magic – it’s half jam, half Tetris. Carved out of the itches of four frustrated instrumentalists, the group evolved from a like-this-but-weirder attitude to something eccentrically rectangular, with a sound described as “a data-driven Thee Oh Sees for kids that keep their shirt on”.
With a bent, frenzied view of the psych-rock genre, WAWAWOW combine jittery synth with sporadic B-52s style vocals and absurdly indulgent guitars. The four-piece alternate between rhythmic refrain and fuzzy overkill, using pudgy effects to create a “cheeky, trippy, and delightfully screwy” feel, like if Charles Mingus covered The Strokes. Blacklights, glowing drumsticks and triggered rope lights add to the band’s praised live show, with a non-stop monolithic performance that has been electrifying Australian audiences over the last few years.
WAWAWOW are throwing out a “big, eccentric sound that Australia will surely be hearing a lot more from.” Dig it now and dig it fast.
