The Whigs are a trio based out of Athens, GA. “Give’Em All a Big Fat Lip” was the first recorded material to be released by the trio. The band signed to indie label ATO Records, home to Radiohead, My Morning Jacket and Ben Kweller,in 2006.

ATO Records released The Whigs new album, “Mission Control,” on January 22, 2008. It was produced by Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Guided By Voices) at Sunset Sound and Sound Factory in Los Angeles, CA.

In early 2009 The Whigs embarked on a winter tour with Kings Of Leon, and the run closed out with a show at Madison Square Garden. This followed fall 2008 tours with Kings Of Leon, The Kooks, and Tokyo Police Club, capped off with a new years celebration with Band Of Horses.
In August 2009 the band went out with Kings Of Leon again, this time covering Western Canada and the west coast in the United States. That run ended at the old stomping grounds of the Los Angeles Lakers, The Forum.

The Whigs head out on a 29 date headline tour Oct 28, and this run will cover most of the United States.

The new album, In The Dark, is due out in early 2010. The title track was just released as a free download.

What a fantastic show at the Note in West Chester last night. Hope Parker's OK after taking that blow from the amp. Probably one of my top five shows, thanks to the energy they had.
