BASTON - JARED S'EST FAIT DEFONCER PAR WAVVES (QUE DALLE)

Le petit monde de l'indie-rock internet s'est précipité sur la récente baston entre Jared Swiley des Black Lips et Nathan Williams aka Wavves, qui a eu lieu ce weekend dans un bar de Williamsburg à New York. Apparemment, le jeune californien aurait éclaté le bassiste et frontman du groupe d'Atlanta, tant et si bien que Jared a loupé trois avions le lendemain à cause de la plaie et des saignements. Mais il s'avère qu'en fait, le petit hipster n'aurait même pas éraflé son homologue moustachu. Il aurait laissé son staff le frapper à sa place. Flipette.

On a comparé les deux témoignages, et celui de Wavves est largement plus évasif que celui de Jared. En fait, on dirait même qu'il se chie littéralement dessus :

"Talking shit about me on the Internet is one thing, I can handle that all day but when some dude is just looking for a fight at 4 in the morning talking shit to my face and his girlfriend is spitting in the face of all my friends it’s a whole different story. I have no problem wih black lips or anybody else that i havent met but jared has been at me every chance he had. I just want to play music and have fun. It was unfortunate that it escalated to that point but he got what was coming to him."

Il a aussi rapporté quelques détails probablement faux au blog Gorilla VS. Bear : 

"I have a broken wrist. I'm obviously not trying to fight fools. that dude was running at me trying to fight so I defended myself. there was a bar full of people that saw it. I was just trying to have fun and hang out with my friends. this shit is so stupid...again, dude had it coming."

En revanche, la version de Jared promet de futurs rebondissements spectaculaires et de grands moments de bloggin. Inutile de préciser que je préfère ce style drôle et sans finesse : 

"First of all, I just wanna say that Wavves was NOT involved in that fight. That faggot didn’t even touch me.

I’ve never "come after" that kid, it wasn’t four a.m., that wasn’t my girlfriend, no one was spitting, and I didn’t attack him. I don’t give a shit about that kid and his music.

What happened was, after we finished our set I went to Daddy’s with some friends and saw that faggot from Wavves talking to a photographer friend of mine. The only thing I did was walk up to him and say "You’re that faggot from Wavves and I don’t like you". He smiled a bit but didn’t say anything.

After that, I went outside and saw their tour manager hanging around with some guys. They started getting all chuckles with me and so I told them I wasn’t gonna have it. After that, Wavves tour manager hit me square in the face with a bottle. Blood started pouring out and six dudes fucking started kicking me until I blacked out.

All I remember is getting hit with the bottle and my friends dragging me to another bar. They wrapped my head up until I looked like a Confederate soldier.

So yeah, I lost the fight.

I also missed three flights. I’ve been in the airport all day having stewardesses cleaning my head because it kept cracking open. You can’t go on board if you’re bleeding.

Bottom line is that faggot from Wavves didn’t even hit me. Never touched me. And he should’ve, cuz he had a free shot.

He’s coming to Atlanta October 3rd and we’re gonna get ugly on him. We’re gonna destroy their van, we’re gonna destroy their faces, we’re gonna get crazy on em’. Nasty style."

En gros, Wavves va bientôt se faire déboiter en règle et on va en reparler. Pas de dérespect envers Nathan WIllimas ou quoique ce soit, mais bon, c'est ce qui arrive quand tu t'en prends à plus badass que toi.
