Imaad Wasif - The Voidist

Imaad Waisf is a rock musician who came of age in the Coachella Valley of the 1990s. Wasif kept his sounds stripped down in his revered indie rock outfits Lowercase and Alaska! During these early years, he also played live and in the studio with Lou Barlow’s Folk Implosion. In 2006 Kill Rock Stars released Wasif’s self-titled solo debut, an acoustic psych gem that had a lean, hushed intensity. Around the same time he was enlisted as a touring guitarist and opening act for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Wasif then self-released ‘Strange Hexes’ in March 2008, this album will be released by Tee Pee Records later in 2010. ‘The Voidist’ features guests Dale Crover (Melvins), Greg Burns (Red Sparrowes and was recorded by Chad Bamford (Weezer). He has also performed opening for RTX, The Raconteurs, Arthur Lee’s Love and Sebadoh and can be found playing guitar on ‘Little Shadow’ from the latest Yeah Yeah Yeah’s album as well as appearing on Lou Barlow’s new solo album. His collaboration with Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Bradford Cox (Deerhunter), and Little Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs / Dead Weather) on the score for the Spike Jonze directed film adaption of Where The Wild Things Are hit theatres at the end of 2009.
