The Evaporators/Andrew W.K. — "A Wild Pear"

By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) July 3, 2009 11:26 am

A Wild Pear is the new split seven-inch single by Nardwuar-fronted garage rockers The Evaporators and hard-partying motivational speaker Andrew W.K. The EP is littered with references to the obscure past. The title is a play on A Wild Pair, the title of the 1968 split album between The Guess Who and The Staccatos (who eventually became the Five...

Victory Square Block Party

By Quinn Omori (CHARTattack) September 3, 2008 1:25 pm

When it came to the profiles of their respective lineups, the Victory Square Block Party was dwarfed by the New Pornographers-curated Stanley Park Singing Exhibition on the other side of town. In fact, the first day of the Singing Exhibition opened with one of Victory Square's headliners, The Evaporators. But despite the fact that the Stanley...

Neko Charms Stanley Park Singing Ex

If you're staging a two-day festival that welcomes music fans from all over into the heart of Vancouver's gorgeous Stanley Park, you want Nardwuar The Human Serviette greeting them. It just makes sense. Arguably one of our country's most polarizing icons, Nardwuar is also Vancouver's number one ambassador — unabashedly proud of his hometown's...

Chris Murphy Joins Nardwuar And Evaporators' Love-in

By Trevor Hargreaves (CHARTattack) March 8, 2006 4:00 pm

Any frequent Chart reader knows that Nardwuar The Human Serviette and Sloan's Chris Murphy are popular subject matter. If you had to boil it down to the two most featured personalities in Chart history, I'd wager these two would take the trophy. As such, it was particularly odd to witness them rocking out on stage together. With Evaporators...

The Evaporators — Ripple Rock

By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) January 20, 2004 11:14 am

Headed by famed music reporter Nardwuar The Human Serviette, The Evaporators bring their first release since 2001. Easily Nardwuar’s most musically sound effort to date, Ripple Rock combines Nardo’s energy and persona with his encyclopedic knowledge of garage rock and impeccable musical taste (not to mention his decent organ playing). As...

The Evaporators — "The Bombs In My Pants!"

The Evaporators

By CHARTattack Staff July 22, 2009 12:38 pm

The Evaporators' video for the way-too-short "The Bombs In My Pants" features a melange of live photos of the band. It's decidedly punk rock for Nardwuar and company. "The Bombs In My Pants" can be found on "A Wild Pear," The Evaporators' split seven-inch single with Andrew W.K. It's in stores now.

YEAAAAAAAAH!!!!! This was like aural A.D.D.! It actually made me forget it was Monday morning. A shame it was only about 10 minutes long.
