Ticket Giveaway! The Whigs w/ Company of Thieves at Off Broadway

April 26, 2011

By Jess

Tomorrow, Off Broadway plays host to Athens-bred garage rockers The Whigs with special guests Company of Thieves. If you’re not familiar, the Whigs have been around the block (and ocean) and back, touring with the Black Keys, The Hold Steady, Tokyo Police Club, and many more. In February 2011, the trio hit the road with fellow Athenians Dead Confederate, a band that’s spent ample time in St. Louis over the past few years. 

 

And the last time Chicago’s Company of Thieves blew through town, Genevieve Schatz’s Herculean voice stopped the Firebird crowd in its tracks. She banged a tambourine around like a mad woman and then leaned forward onstage to sing to one of her smiling fans (who also happened to be in the opening band) while Marc Walloch wailed away and gave all the guitar nerds in the room pedal board envy.
