Wild Nothing are a fairly new band, having only been around since around 2009. Mastermind Jack Tatum writes all the music himself, and got friends Nathan Goodman, Jeff Haley, Kevin Knight, and Jeremiah Johnson on guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums, respectively, to play with him.
Wild Nothing's music is reminiscent of artists featured on the 1986 compilation C86 released by NME. However, Wild Nothing stand on their own. They have a sound that is completely unique to them, combining elements of post-punk, dream pop, and shoegaze. This band is definitely amazing in their own way.
This becomes even more evident during a live event. In an outdoor venue during the daytime, the crowd gathers a while before the band even shows up, just chatting amongst themselves as they wait patiently. When the band does show up, Jack simply greets them with a hello and says "We're Wild Nothing" as they begin to play the first song of their set. The band cheers as they begin to play. The communication with the audience is also kept to a minimum.
Jack sometimes asks the crowd how their doing, but otherwise he lets the music speak for itself. The audience simply watches on as the band play their music. The entire atmosphere is completely laid-back, which is to be expected, since this sort of music is perfect for having a relaxing time.
