The Wavos

The Wavos dance with their audience, putting out a 100% live, upbeat performance of new wave & alternative tunes with danceable rock beats. It's a big show with crazy outfits, interactive visuals and multimedia lighting that keeps the crowd sonically, visually and physically engaged.

The three members of The Wavos, originally from New Jersey, have joined the ranks of NJ expats with Joe living in Myrtle Beach SC and Gordon and Tone at opposite ends of Manhattan, NYC. Since 2008 they’ve been playing to enthusiastic audiences up and down the east coast, growing a devoted fan base in northern Virginia, D.C., the New York area and the Carolinas.

Technology has been a key part of the experience, enabling them to miniaturize their live setup and come up with innovative ways to light themselves and their stage. Projected animations, coupled with all-white clothing and kilts, turn their bodies into live video screens.

The Wavos' five original EPs are self-produced, recorded and mixed. Myrtle Beach's Sun News KICKS! compares the band to The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol and Bloc Party and says about their CD, Wave Crazed EP, "it's really great to see a band like The Wavos continuing the New Wave tradition by combining both the classic and modern forms and crafting them into their own form of alternative power pop." The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star says the CD "features seven delectably jagged tunes that are just as dance-inducing and original as the artists they [often] cover." About Second Wave EP1, the Free Lance-Star says “The record is loaded with synthesizers and deep harmonies … will inspire you to lace up your high-top kicks with the neon laces and hit the dance floor.” DishMiss NYC calls The Wavos’ music "infectious and upbeat electro-driven pop and punk … you’ll just want to dance!”
