The first time I was exposed to the Whigs was at lollapalooza '08, they rocked a large crowd in a mid-afternoon show. It's high-energy music that still has a soft mellowness ? I've been listening to them ever since.. This show was at a very small bar in Buffalo, NY. The singer was happily surprised that most of us knew their first album and did alot of great older songs. At one point, he walked out into the crowd while playing a solo. They did a sweet break down to heavy strobe effects which looked cool. They killed themselves up there and left the stage drenched in sweat on a cool night. The Dead Tress started the show.. they started a little rough, but it was understandable because apparently someone had just smashed a window and broken into their vehicle. Good crescendo points where they released their noise gate and got loud. I had not previously heard the Features, but alot of the crowd seemed to know a few of their songs. Good solid indie pop, I plan to follow up on them.
