Wolf Eyes began as a solo project of former Nautical Almanac member Nate Young, with Aaron Dilloway joining in 1999, and John Olson in 2000. During this time, the band also briefly relocated to New York City and at one point enlisted Andrew Wilkes-Krier, now known to the public as Andrew W.K.. The group is rumored to have released over 150 recordings in their relatively short lifespan, on labels such as Bulb Records, Troubleman Unlimited, Fusetron, and Sub Pop, as well as on Olson’s American Tapes label, Dilloway’s Hanson Records and, most recently, Mike Connelly’s Gods of Tundra label. Connelly (also of Hair Police) replaced Dilloway on tour in early 2005, due to the latter’s departure for Nepal to make arrangements for his marriage, but Dilloway still records with the original members.
Most Wolf Eyes recordings are self-released, following the DIY tradition of bands such as Smegma. Their first major release was Dread, released on the American Tapes and Hanson Records labels but distributed through Bulb Records. Other major releases include Dead Hills on Troubleman and Burned Mind on Sub Pop. Most Wolf Eyes recordings are released as either lathes, cassettes, or cd-rs.
Wolf Eyes’ first two major tours were with Sonic Youth and Andrew W.K.

These guys are great live! John lives around town here and he's a very cool guy. The first time I ever really met him he gave me some $50 worth of free Wierd Records vinyl. These guys have also brought Andrew W. K. in town to play in the basement of a tiny Mexican restaurant lol. John Olson and Aaron Dilloway also have a project called the Casket Sinkers which so AMAZING live.

I've heard plenty of sidelong jams in my life, if you can't tell the difference between your standard American Tapes release and what they cull for "official" releases, you're full of shit. Regardless, their output has noticeably slowed down since Human Animal.

Kinda Disappointed with the new album. Buying CD-Rs with Wolf Eyes is risky since a lot of it is filler, really. Just live show bootlegs and unedited twiddling. I trust noise artists like Navicon Torture Technologies more when it comes to CD-R releases

Yeah cdrs and tapes don't really count, I only buy major label pro-manufactured noise cds.
