Andrew W.K.__NOTOC__Wolf Eyes are a noise rock band from Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States.

Wolf Eyes began as a solo project of former Nautical Almanac member Nate Young, with Aaron Dilloway joining in 1998, and John Olson in 2000. [Wolf Eyes official bio http://www.windishagency.com/bio_wolfeyes.htm ] 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 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 [http://www.americantapes.com American Tapes] label, Dilloway's Hanson Records, Mike Connelly's Gods of Tundra label and Nate Young's [http://www.wolfeyes.net/aaindex.html AA Records] . Connelly (also of Hair Police) replaced Dilloway in early 2005, due to the latter's departure for Nepal to make arrangements for his marriage. [Wolf Eyes official bio http://www.windishagency.com/bio_wolfeyes.htm ] Dilloway is no longer an active member of the group but he did some production work on their 2006 Sub Pop album "Human Animal" [Human Animal site http://www.subpop.com/releases/wolf_eyes/full_lengths/human_animal ] and has performed with them on at least two occasions (Empty Bottle Chicago, IL 2/25/2006 and No Fun Fest Brooklyn, NY 3/18/2006). John Olson also performs in Dead Machines with his wife Tovah Olson. Nate Young performs solo as Hatred and with Steve Kenney and Alivia Zivich in the visual music group Demons.

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 [http://www.americantapes.com American Tapes] and [http://www.hansonrecords.net Hanson Records] labels but distributed through Bulb Records. Other major releases include "Dead Hills" on Troubleman as well as "Burned Mind" and "Human Animal" on Sub Pop. Most Wolf Eyes recordings are released as either lathe cuts, cassettes, or CD-rs.

Wolf Eyes' first two major tours were with Sonic Youth and Andrew W.K.
