The Whigs are proud to announce three exciting tours this fall in support of their critically acclaimed ATO Records debut, MISSION CONTROL. The Athens, GA power trio will join Tokyo Police Club in Baltimore, MD on September 8th, followed by a month of dates with The Kooks beginning September 29th and a tour with Kings Of Leon beginning November 1st. A band known for their intense and explosive rock show, The Whigs have spent the last seven months relentlessly touring behind MISSION CONTROL, an album that captures a raw and gritty spirit that has everyone from Spin, Maxim, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork, Alternative Press, The New York Times and many others scrambling to praise the band's no-holds-barred, bare-boned aesthetic.
Since the release of MISSION CONTROL, The Whigs have appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, they've performed at Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock and T in The Park, among other festivals and worldwide stops, and they've been spotlighted on NPR's weekend edition and E! News.
"The Whigs have made an album with the energy and smarts of the Strokes' first record. The songs pull in a lot of classic pop and rock influences," says USA Today Weekend, while Rolling Stone raves, "nearly every track here highlights a chunky riff you'll want hear again and again."
