The Whigs Ditch Democracy for Kings of Leon
It’s cool, we all suspected that fledgling republicans just wanted to experiment with monarchy anyway. It looks like garage rockers The Whigs are about to graduate to arena rock this January when they play some pretty big venues opening for big deal band Kings of Leon. Don’t worry though. Later on this March The Whigs will return to their roots when they play some smaller venues to support their record Mission Control. In between tours the boys will return to Athens, Ga. to start working on their next record, so maybe if you wait until March you’ll get to hear new material.
