    Whigs great as always

    by dmorsedawg77 on 1/27/15Bowery Ballroom - New York

    Such an underappreciated band. Just great all around - sound, energy, presence, everything.

    Whigs are saving rock. Rough Trade too late.

    by ghfdiughdifghiuodrgho on 9/15/14Rough Trade NYC - Brooklyn

    The Whigs are incredible. I'm an avid music fan and go to a ton of shows. The Whigs are one of very few bands I like MORE after seeing live. They just plain rock. They're incredible. Rough Trade's set times are too late though, it's very inconvenient to attend a weekday show that starts so late. Exhausted at work the next day (The Whigs are worth it, but the late set times discourage me from seeing other bands at Rough Trade).

    The Whigs at Bowery

    by Yets on 4/27/14Bowery Ballroom - New York

    The 2 openers were an interesting choice. Streets of Laredo were good. They reminded me of a less wistful Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Nikki Lane was VERY country. Every song had too much twang that was played on a steel string guitar with a finger slide. It was a little over the top for my taste. But the minute the whigs came on stage they blew everyone away. Their sound is meant for an arena size venue and I can't wait until they headline a tour like that. They have so much energy and they're loud; in that good way. This is the third time I've seen them and they seem to be getting better and better. It was a kick ass show.

    The Whigs are high energy and talented

    by NewAlbanyIrish on 1/20/14The Basement - Columbus

    Went with friends to see the Whigs having only heard a few of the Whigs' songs, my favorite being Right Hand on My Heart. Performance exceeded expectation. Drummer is great. Songs sound better in person than on record. Would recommend a Whigs concert to anyone that likes their sound. The "new" songs should be hits. The Basement is a fun and very small venue.

    The Whigs: freaking great American rock band

    by Tfizzle on 8/31/13The Pyramid Scheme - Grand Rapids

    I saw them play in Grand Rapids this week and there were like 15 people there. This is one of the best rock bands in the U.S. and it was awesome to see them in such a small venue. They are great live! I hope they continue playing and find a better manager so they get the audiences they deserve.

    Whigs rock - nuff said

    by JimmyBartlett on 4/19/13Mercury Lounge - New York

    The Whigs rock harder than just about anyone* out there (*see Foo Fighters - no one rocks harder, NO ONE). And they seem to do it almost effortlessly. None of the band is particularly outspoken on stage, at least in a verbal sense. They let their music do almost all of the talking - and it is loud. Gispert's haunting vocals recall folk legends of old and bear some similarities to Bridwell of Band of Horses, but his voice and lyrics are very much his own. His voice and songs, like the band itself, are all over the place (in a good way) sonically and thematically (psychedelic, folky, punky, and wistful) yet at the same time clearly united by a rock sound that they uniquely own. Oh, and did I mention Parker plays guitar? Cause he does, damn well. Shredding, kicking, and thrashing about on stage, he challenges the audience to let go - break in to spastic fits when the energy is high, and sway in the breeze in the moments between the thunder claps. It's evident that Dorio was basically born playing drums. He hits them like a cobra strikes - a slow recoil and blinding fast attack - such that, to him at least, he seems to have all the time in the world to decide where to strike next. It's that poised ease over a barely contained fury that will make him a percussive weapon to watch in the rock world. Deaux plays bass. I play bass. I've been playing for half of my life. I could play for the remainder of my life and never sound as strong and crisp as Deaux, and if I did, it'd take another lifetime to learn how to make it look so effortless. Each of these guys - they put it all out there (if 'it' refers to every ounce of energy they own, and an absurd amount of sweat) but it still somehow looks like they're just playing with us. Their actual musical performance is excellent but seems effortless; their showmanship takes more strength than most possess. Watch this band. Watch them for decades. You'll be glad you did.

    The Whigs - Awesom Drummer

    by Moocajo on 3/19/1320th Century Theater - Cincinnati

    I'm gettin older. That is for sure, as I found the music a tad to loud for my liking, especially since I was not familiar with the band. Having said that, I thought the drummer was worth the price of admission, even if I couldn't stay for the entire show. A little to much power for the size of venue, but hey, I used to like that loud stuff!

    The Whigs at Mercury Lounge March 2013

    by SamFish on 3/19/13Mercury Lounge - New York

    The Whigs are one of the few remaining bands that still regularly tours. I don't have much to say about them other then that they always deliver. The show this past tuesday at Mercury Lounge was amazing. An "A+" rock performance that had everyone there on their feet and dancing.

    Whigs in the City

    by Yets on 3/17/13Mercury Lounge - New York

    The opening band wasn't great. I didn't like their music. But once The Whigs got on stage the energy was put right back in the room. The whole band was so into playing great and making you feel every chord in your body. At points I almost got t hypnotized by the drummer because of the way he rhythmically threw his head around. I didn't know all the songs but it didn't matter. I had a great time!!
