October 7, 2008 – The Whigs were opening for the Kooks, but to be honest, I don't think they got the memo. The Athens, Georgia trio blew right by rote support and delivered a thrashing, fiery banger of a set, drawing on a raw energy that left the stage bruised, stained, covered in sweat.

October 18, 2008 – It's not even the last song of the night, but there's confetti flying through the air, the barricade is heaving, and every pair of hands in the house is flashing your very own gang sign.
