If anyone needs assurance that 2023 might turn out okay, just know there will be at least one night this year when we can hear “Stay Useless” and “King of the Beach” live at the same show*. That’s because Cloud Nothings and Wavves have hit the road together, and roll into the Paradise Rock Club this evening (June 16), the latest stop on a co-headlining run that’s the two bands’ first extended tour together since 2015 collab LP No Life For Me. So this should be all sorts of fun. All hail the guitar, all hail much-needed summer vibes, and all hail those glory days a decade ago when it seemed like every new indie band just fucking ruled. (* here we are being presumptuous about setlists but whatever, let’s take a chance on love.)
CLOUD NOTHINGS + WAVVES :: Friday, June 16 at the Paradise Rock Club, 967 Commonwealth Ave. in Boston, MA :: 7 p.m., 18-plus, $33 :: Event page :: Advance tickets
