The Whigs launch new video and kick off tour with Kings of Leon

| On 30, Nov 2010

The Whigs arrived in Europe last night for the start of their massive tour with the Kings of Leon that will see the band play on some of Europe’s biggest stages. Kicking off the tour last night in Amsterdam with a headline show of their own, the trio are arriving in Belgium today for their first of fourteen shows with the Kings of Leon. The Athens, GA based band have two more headline shows lined up in Berlin and London where they will play at The Borderline on the 15th December.

In the midst of all this touring The Whigs have found time to make a video for their forthcoming single ‘So Lonely’ which was launched exclusively on MySpace last week. Filmed in the confides of The Whigs drummer’s (Julian Dorio) kitchen, the videos stripped back approach shows the band in their rawest element. Just bass, drums and guitar along with Julian’s pet dog making a cameo appearance at the end. One of the stand out tracks from the album, ‘So Lonely’ is one of two on In The Dark that was recorded with Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant). In The Dark is released through Kartel on 24th January.
