Wavves frontman Nathan Williams was arrested in Germany after being busted for drug possession during a roadside search.
“We got stopped at a roadside check and I had six bags in the car and they only found one-- the fucking dogs never work. I bet it's high from all the fumes. Anyways, they put me in a cell which was a little nerve-wracking. More so because I was an American in a German jail and not because I have long gay hair. I did wrestle for four years in high school, so I could have fucked somebody up. So yeah, then I gave em €200 and walked out... not a terrible deal. And now I'm getting high again.”
Sadly he later admitted over Twitter that “the wrestling thing was a joke, doggies”.
What isn’t a joke, however, is the official Wavves weed-grinders, which are available at Wavves shows. If you’re keen to get your hands on one, you’d better make sure you make it to one of the following:
