		“A fiery, young and timelessly tuneful rock trio & [Give ‘Em All A Big Fat Lip] spikes Nineties indie rock with Sixties pop craftsmanship and Southern-rock twang.” - Rolling Stone Magazine (“10 Artists to Watch” feature) “[Give ‘Em All A Big Fat Lip] evokes the neo-roots rock vibe of My Morning Jacket, the cool minimalism of the Strokes and the perfectly constructed pop of the early Sixties.” - Rolling Stone Magazine “Late-‘80s/early-‘90s nostalgia that combines the gravelly rock of The Replacements with the off-kilter pop of Guided by Voices ... amazingly good.” - NPR “The Athens-based Whigs mix feisty licks, catchy hooks and twangy melodies into a Southern garage-rock stew that begs to be heard live.” - Chicago Tribune “Very quick, very urgent and very much the sonic kin to the likes of the Replacements, Dinosaur Jr. and Buffalo Tom.” - Los Angeles Times (“Buzz Bands”) “Solid and preternaturally tuneful.” - Spin Magazine Artist's Web Site Hear an mp3 clip from The Whigs latest CD See a YouTube clip from The Whigs On David Letterman The Old Ceremony draws their water from a deep well of music ranging from the Beatles to Beck, Leadbelly to Led Zeppelin. Unorthodox instrumentation meets superb songwriting, to create a unique interpretation of rock'n'roll. After two highly acclaimed albums and four years of touring, the Chapel Hill, NC band has built a large and loyal following. TOC has performed with CAKE, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Chuck Berry, Polyphonic Spree, Mountain Goats, and Avett Brothers, and was included in PASTE Magazine's "Top 100 Albums of 2006." TOC is figureheaded by songwriter/raconteur Django Haskins, and includes bassist Matt Brandau, drummer Dan Hall, vibes/organist Mark Simonsen, and violinist/keyboardist Gabriele Pelli.
