Wavves x GZA :: “Liquid Swords” Live (Video)

It must be every suburban 20-something’s dream to get on stage with a memeber of the Wu-Tang Clan. So we’re happy for SoCal indie-punk Wavves who got to play back-up band for GZA performing “Liquid Swords” on Fuel TV’s Daily Habit. The band does a solid job in re-creating RZA’s haunted loops (adding a little fuzzbox in the middle) while the MC plays fast and loose with the rhythm.



The band then celebrated by partying it up at MTV’s VMAs. That is, until bassist Stephen Pope was kicked out after getting busted with champagne and weed according to his …

You can catch Trademark Da Skydiver in NYC for CMJ with GZA October 21 and catch him on tour this fall. Tour dates after the jump….

Wu-Tang Makes Their Own Metallica-esque Tell All Doc (Video)

There’s a reason why Metallica has never full recovered after the documentary Some Kind of Monster showed the band at their most childishly neurotic as they underwent group therapy. In this age of Twitter-access, we think we want to know everything about our stars. But if we really knew the truth, it’s often a turn-off.

So what to think about the preview for Wu-Tang Revealed, this official doc shot mostly by GZA over the years, that seems to imply that the Wu have spent much of the past decade standing around arguing in the kitchen of their very nice houses. Is it off-putting to see grown men still talk about “aim my gun at you” and “I want my million.” when sitting in suburban luxury? But then again, those big bottles of …
