Wavves Ban Racists, Homophobes, Trump Supporters From Shows
Pitchfork ^ | July 6, 2016 | Matthew Strauss

“id rather have a room half filled with good energy than one filled with hate. people are suffering every day and the way i see it you are either part of the solution or part of the problem.”

Wavves are getting ready to hit the road for a summer tour. Before they go, the band’s Nathan Williams wants to make clear whom he does and does not make music for, as well as whom he believes is welcome at Wavves shows. Today, he tweeted, “a few things i wanted to make clear,” and shared a long note that detailed six types of people who are “not welcome at a Wavves show:” Anybody who’s said or supported #AllLivesMatter, anybody who’s “gone out of [their] way to defend police in America,” people who blame rape victims, homophobes, racists, and Donald Trump supporters.

He acknowledges that he could lose fans, but concludes, “id rather have a room half filled with good energy than one filled with hate. people are suffering every day and the way i see it you are either part of the solution or part of the problem.” See Williams’ full note below, and check out Wavves’ upcoming shows here....

A virtually unknown band trying to drum up publicity.

So, what are these people going to do?
Background check everyone moronic enough to go see them? Or, have an interrogation or application to see them to be filled out at the door.

Typical liberalism...silence the opposition. When that fails,try to destroy them by every possible means.

At the next meeting of the Grand Lodge of Racists, Homophobes, and Trump Supporters, I am going to suggest we buy up all the tickets to Waaves concerts.

As I say, “The Left has a mental disorder: A totalitarian mindset.” Facts don’t matter. What they think is their way or the highway. In some places around the world, you get your head sliced off for not thinking the way they think. In America’s cities, you have a drive-by visit for a strike with street justice. For these totalitarians there is no rule of law or due process. They are thugs who need to be dropped into the ash can of history, like their predecessors.

They’d be able to spot me as an RHTS if I were in that audience, because my flesh would be visibly crawling. There might even be screaming and projectile vomiting.

Never heard of them. Must be some wanks that are looking for a way to get someone to listen to their music.

One of their gigs is at the “Ace of Spades” in Sacramento. Sounds like they are a bunch of racist crackers to me.

Never heard of them. Lead Singer has the over-tatooed, unevenly bearded, seldom washed Hipster look, for what it may matter. I would hate to be his manager, or a part of his production crew. “You told who to stay away? You Dumbbunny! Why did you do that? I thought we had an agreement, you do the singing and I’ll do the thinking, cause obviously you can’t!”

So what do you have to do to be "banned"? Sign an affidavit or something stating that you're a Trump supporter?

Just Say NO To Drugs.

Ooooh, darn. I was going to take my church group to see the Wavves concert, right after going to a Trump Rally.

Never heard of them but I take it they’re not a Christian bakery, wedding venue, or pizza shop.
