Bought tix to this show cause I really like Band of Skulls but i have to admit, THE WHIGS were amazing. Only knew one song by them *Kill me Carolyne* going into it but they have a fan for life! Julian is such an amazing drummer--> the vibe was crazy awesome and it was great to see such a talent! They deserve to make it BIG...... Love them and can't wait to see them July 16, 2010.
Band of Skulls friggin rock. And the drummer from the Whigs may very well be the hottest ginger ever.
The Mod Club Theatre was simmering with everyday people, and when I first entered the club I was so engrossed with people watching that I could've gotten my money's worth via that alone. When The Whigs started their set, I was unsure about them. But by the mid-way point of their show I was thoroughly impressed. They pulled off about 5 great songs in a row, each one a seeming throw-back to '90s rock. Images of The Killjoys and Dandy Warhols danced in my head. Near the end of their set they started to lose steam, or maybe I just lost interest. But they pulled it together with the last song and left me with a smile. Definitely a band with potential. Next, the main attraction - Band of Skulls. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from a live show with this band, I'd only heard of them recently. But their CD "Baby Darling Doll Face Honey" is absolutely solid, so I figured if they were anything like their recording, they would rock. And they were, and they did. Excellent vocals from the guitarist, the female bass player was way cool (took a few songs for her vocals to warm up, but once they did, owweee, the harmonies were wonderful). This band is so tight, and it's clear to me that they have worked really hard to get where they are today. I predict we will see a lot more of Band of Skulls in the future, they are on the cusp of super rock-stardom!
The little band from Athens, GA were pitch perfect Friday night at The Media Club. The high octane set left the gathering there deliriously happy by the end of their set. Parker Gispert was in fine voice, supported by the pulsating drumming of Julian Dorio with Tim Deaux keeping it all together on bass guitar. It was a privilege to see this band at such close quarters. If you enjoy bands like The Replacements, XTC, Buzzcocks, The Jam, Husker Du/Sugar infused with southern flavoured rock, then do yourself a favour and check out The Whigs - especially in the smaller venues they are playing in right now before everyone else figures it out.
