Who wants to meet Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl? Apparently, Wavves' Nathan Williams does, and we have an exclusive premiere of artwork from Williams' new EP Life Sux, which will feature the song "I Wanna Meet Dave Grohl." "That's Dave Grohl. It was drawn by Nick Gazin and it looks like Bradford Cox from Deerhunter with long hair," says Williams of the cover image. "Those are hobo symbols on the side, I think." The Grohl-loving first single from Life Sux premieres on MTV's new hipster comedy I Just Want My Pants Back following the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. The cut will also be available as a free download for a limited time on MTV.com.

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
