The Whigs & Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Two of my favorite bands are playing tonight at Slim’s. If you happen to be in or around SF, I highly recommend you check it out.
The Whigs are a rock band band in the truest sense of the words. They play loud, charging songs that somehow manage to conjure up an entire life’s worth of sunny days, dark nights, heartbreak and lust. As I once told a friend, The Whigs’ music is simultaneously the perfect soundtrack for a fishing trip, a long drive or a late night beer drinking contest. From what I’ve heard so far, their new album doesn’t quite have the magic of the first two. But having seen these guys live before I can still promise one of the best performances you will ever get a chance to see.
After 12 years and 7 albums, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have officially cornered the market on bad ass rock n roll. Their music is the aural equivalent of a pair of dark shades or a well-worn leather jacket. Just putting it on automatically makes you cooler. Given their predilection for heavy distortion and fuzzy electronic howls, I can’t say that I would pick them as a perfect match for The Whigs’ more organic sound. Still, having two great bands on the same bill like this pretty much guarantees an awesome night out.
Be there or live in shame!
