I have to say how lucky we are living in Athens, GA with such a vibrant music scene.  The Whigs, a fabulous band who call Athens home, just returned to town for a show at the 40 Watt Club this week.  They met as students at UGA  If you haven't had a chance to see or hear them, pick up their new CD "Mission Control".  They are a HOT HOT HOT power trio!  Parker Gispert, singer and guitarist, has just enough of a Southern accent to make you proud to call him one of our own.  Julian Doro, the left-handed drummer, shows you why he was named Esquire Magazine's  "Best Drummer in the US". 

It's hard-driving rock with the hooks to sound like pop.
