The Whigs
All Music Guide
Parker Gispert (vocals/guitar), Julian Dorio (drums), and Hank Sullivant (bass) create the rollicking indie rock sounds of the Whigs. With a jaunty mix of Westerberg-like style and a heartfelt country disposition, the Whigs made a name for themselves playing shows as students attending the University of Georgia. Additional opening slots for the likes of the Killers, Franz Ferdinand, and the Futureheads quickly followed for the Whigs, thus leaving their 2005 debut album, Give Em All a Big Fat Lip, to be picked up by ATO Records. Rolling Stone also hailed the Athens, GA, trio as one of the 10 Artists to Watch in 2006. A headlining tour and a shared jaunt with Jonezetta and Mute Math coincided the reissue of Give Em All a Big Fat Lip that fall.
