Give ‘Em All A Big Fat Lip

theWhigs — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 15:29:45 +0000

Produced by the Whigs

Engineered by Billy Bennett

Mixed by David Axelrod

Mastered by John Baldwin at Georgetown Masters

Artwork by Chris Bilheimer

The debut album recorded by the Whigs in the summer of 2005 at the Ross Crane House in Athens, GA. With zero dollars in their pocket, the band bought recording equipment on eBay, recorded on it for a couple months, then sold the equipment back on eBay for a small profit. The result was the primal “Give “Em All A Big Fat Lip” which was self-released by the Athens trio in November 2005 and later re-released by ATO Records in September 2006.

Mission Control

theWhigs — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 15:32:40 +0000

Produced by Rob Schnapf

Engineered by Doug Boehm

Mixed by Rob Schnapf and Doug Boehm

Mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound

Artwork by Chris Bilheimer

After spending 2006 and half of 2007 on the road, the Whigs headed to Los Angeles in the summer of 2007 to craft their second record, “Mission Control.” Instead of the empty fraternity house used to record “Fat Lip,” the band holed up in Hollywood’s legendary Sunset Sound / The Sound Factory for two months. The studio, which has played host to rock artists such as the Doors, Janis Joplin, and Led Zeppelin provided the Whigs with a historic backdrop for the construction of their second record. Produced and mixed by Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Guided By Voices) and engineered / mixed by Doug Boehm (French Kicks), the record was released in January of 2008 by ATO Records.

“In the Dark” is a homegrown beast. Recorded in their hometown of Athens, Georgia during the summer of 2009, the original Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter) produced sessions were merged with two Nashville sessions produced by Jay Joyce and Angelo Petraglia respectively. The resulting album brings a twist of rock darkness and psychedelia to the Whigs signature southern rock sound.
