This is the next big band in the alternative rock scene. Julian Dorio can tear it up on the drums. He will become a legend once time passes. Together, they make music moving.

I was very impressed by the whigs performance and enthusiasm despite a lackluster crowd at the newport on 11/3. I saw them a year ago at the same venue opening for the kooks and was drawn in by their powerful riffs and stage presence then so when i heard they were comin back i immediately got tix. They put on a great show again and it was just too bad that there wasnt a more raucous crowd to enliven the joint. They are a very good band and highly respected by music publications so Im not sure why more people didnt come out, and tix were only $5 too. Oh well it was still fun

I thought The Features were great but the Whigs were unclimactic. The drummer in The Whigs was not as good as The Features. Also Mean Creek who toured in Boston were better than the Whigs.

This was the perfect venue for this type of show. The Dead Trees came out, even after having their van broken into, and rocked some of their aggressions out. The Features just killed it. The fans sang along and band played a couple of new tracks. It was perfect, not a bad place to stand in the bar. We didn't stay for the Whigs but they played half as well as the opening bands then I'm sure it was a kick A#* show!

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.

The Dead Trees, The Features, and The Whigs put on the greatest show I've seen in a long time. The whole thing lasted over 4 hours, and was excellent. The WHigs new songs are equally awesome. Every band brought out their own unique brand of music while also talking to people in the audience before and when their bands weren't playing. I had a great time, and the Whigs were extremely approachable.
