Music news Coming soon: the Whigs
Posted by Mosi Reeves on Wed, Oct 17, 2007 at 9:31 PM
Remember when I wrote that Jan. 22 belonged to International Hits stars the Selmanaires and Anna Kramer & the Lost Cause? Well, make room in your spending budget for the Whigs. On Jan. 22, 2008, the Athens band will drop Mission Control, its second album and first since 2005's Give 'Em All a Big Fat Lip. Produced by Rob Schnapf (who produced Elliott Smith's Either/Or and Beck's Mellow Gold), it's the Whigs' major-label bow for ATO Records.
Expect more details on Mission Control soon. In the meantime, read Nikhil Swaminathan's Nov. 16, 2005, review of their debut here, and buy a ticket to their Saturday, Oct. 20, co-headlining show with Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit.
