The Whigs on Fallon Tonight

[jdwolf]

A heads up to any fans. I've never heard them but they're a local band for us so I'm going to check them out. I know they're on the ATO label with DBT and they had their CD release party together....

I like the Whigs, although I have not gotten into their latest album yet. I saw them perform before DBT at a festival, and Shonna and EZB were watching from the back of the crowd, enjoying it. Patterson watched from the side of the stage, singing along. Given the number of times they have played together, they must be fans.

Love the Whigs, all 3 albums. Great band with a ton of energy. They opened for DBT a few years back, 08 maybe, and are touring with THS this summer. They write some kick ass songs and play with a ton of emotion. There live shows give DBT a run for there money. ALso there drummer is sick. Esquire has repeatedly named him the best rock n roll drummer around, since Fat Lip came out. Listen to Hundred/Million and you get a small taste. And the lead singer is bad ass in a little bit creep way.

These guys are the next LEON I fear.

I really loved the first 2 albums, but the new one sounds very "90s Nickelback wanna be on the radio" to me.

They kicked ass when I saw them on tour for the first record.

When I saw a bunch of their songs in an Ashton Kutcher shitbag movie, I thought "Oh Dear...."

Of course I was hammered on the first listen to the new one, so I'll give it another chance.

Yeah, definitely didnt get that vibe,lol. Also didnt notice they were in the Ashton Kutcher movie. It took a few listens, but love it now. "Black Heart inside of me"(not sure if thats the name) is a great tune. Fat lip is a classic though. I love Grace Potter, but some of her songs ended up on The Hills and a couple crappy abc family movies with hilary dooff(sp), so I know what you mean about getting worried about that kind of stuff.

Saw The Whigs with DBT in 05; they were good but not enough to make me go buy any of their music unlike The Dexateens (who I got everything i could find right after seeing them with DBT).
