Wavves front man Nathan Williams, who is set to bring his outfit to Australia next month, has revealed that he’s such a pot head he has looked in to creating his own particular strain of marijuana. He told an interviewer that he’s thought about selling it at the merch stand at his gigs, along with the weed grinders and Wavves branded rolling papers they already peddle to punters.
He says “I smoke too much weed, I think that’s how I come up with these things. I’ve tried to get a strain of weed – Willie Nelson has one, Snoop Dogg has one. That would be really cool. It would just be called ‘Wavves’ because I think that would be a pretty good name.” Perhaps a bit addled by his massive bong habit, he reckons that his dream is to sell dope at his shows.
“No bongs or pipes, though,” he says. “That’s how they threw [Tommy] Chong in jail, I’m not going to f— with that; the rolling papers and grinders are enough for now.”
