band of the day: THE WHIGS!

27 03 2008

dear lord… my left ear has officially been blown out. and by 3 illegal looking but probably of age rockers who 1) are the only people[person actually] to successfully pull off mutton chops, 2) are straight out of athens, GA, home of REM, the B-52’s, Perpetual Groove, Indigo Girls, Widespread Panic, Danger Mouse and many more and 3) rock so hard they got a crowd infested with the 40+ demographic to resurrect their retired devil horns and move around for once.

now, for a lack of better words:

– each musician equally on fire as the person next to them
– drums… inCREDible!
– mutton chops… inCREDible!
– keys and vocal effects… inCREDible!inCREDible!inCREDible!
– stage presence… 10!
– they were great to the point that when they finished their set no one moved. they actually moved forward, rather than away, in hopes to get a word with or catch a glance from one of their awe-inspireing favorites
– left 45 year old men looking like a 5 year old who’s mother just told him he could eat an entire tub of ice cream while playing in a ball pit if he so desired

k…. i’m spent. here’s a pic i took at the show. gotta love how handy the iphone is! [don't judge me on the quality though]
