Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States (1996 – present)

Wolf Eyes began as a solo project of former Nautical Almanac member Nate Young in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States in 1996, 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.

    WolfEyes è la più celebrata band della scena musicale dell'ultimo decennio. In Triennale a Milano il 23 maggio 2012, in giardino dalle 20 alle 22. Da Detroit, Michigan, Wolf Eyes dissolve le proprie basi post- industrial/noise in un mare caotico di energia guidato da tre menti i cui progetti solisti o di band sono fari abbaglianti del noise e dell'elettronica. Per il breve spazio di un live, OPEN sarà inondata da una indimenticabile devastante valanga sonica. OPEN è un progetto di Vodafone e Zero. Non mancate, gratis in Triennale i migliori artisti fino al 31 maggio. Consulta il programma! http://vfopen.vodafone.it/canale/arte

    People unwatched is worthwhile, as is mugger, both are CDr releases. Dread and Dead Hills are probably their other solid professional CD albums. The new-ish one on Hospital bored me. Their collab with Sickness is amazing, but maybe more sickness then WE. Their self titled has little to do with their current sound.
