With their debut album I Want That You Are Always Happy announced for an April 8 release, The Middle East have offered its pandemic opener Black Death 1349 as a free download, click here to grab the track.
The band will perform at Golden Plains festival this Sunday 13 March at 1.20PM.
Taken from Wavves’ debut album, the video for title track King Of The Beach is a pretty standard journey into royalty getting blazed at the beach. And of course there are hot hipster chicks in bikinis.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Yup, Ahead of his Aussie tour, Nathan Williams, aka Wavves has released a brand spankin’ new track on his blog.

Waaves will be playing Golden Plains as well as the following headline side shows with Bleeding Knees Club:
Wavves, the musical outlet for the charmingly careless Nathan Williams, will be making his highly anticipated journey to Australia in March 2011 to play Golden Plains Festival and a string of freshly announced headline shows.
San Diego born and bred, Williams shot to prominence in 2009 when much to his amusement, the two lo fi punk rock albums he recorded at his parent’s house were quickly embraced and touted as “the next big thing” by online music critics and bloggers.
In 2010 Wavves released King of the Beach, an adventurous and ambitious record complete with Williams’ recognisable sunshiny melodies. The underlying theme of summer and boredom still remains, but unlike previously released material, King of the Beach was toiled over for three months in a studio by producer Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, The Hives).
