The Whigs Wig Out
Today’s posts will be about bands that I may have dismissed or about ones that flew off of my radar. Athens, Georgia. You just name that city and many bands come to mind. Next to Austin and Seattle, the city is synonymous with a great music scene. Enter stage right The Whigs. The Whigs are one of the newest groups on ATO, home to Ben Kweller and My Morning Jacket. I was recently hipped to these kids by a friend because he lost a bet and he sent me a bunch of CDs. The Whigs are a garage band that knows how to put a soft melody together and I will file this one under one of the albums/groups that was totally off of my radar. The name of their album is Give EM’ All A Big Fat Lip and was released last July. Seems as though they have opened up for some big-timers (Franz Ferdinand and the Killers) and some not so big-timers (Sister Hazel?)
