I caught the Whigs at Tasty World last night; apparently, they have changed guitarists within the last few weeks, and they decided to play a small practice gig in preparation for that big show at the Variety Playhouse on Oct. 20. The crowd was as big as I have ever seen at Tasty World on a Monday night, and the band brought enough enthusiasm to the stage to keep everybody bobbing their heads for at least an hour. The show was a mix of songs from the first album and (presumably) a few songs from the new one (Due January 22). Amazingly, the evening finished with a brief appearance by John Popper of Blues Traveler who is in town for a show at the Georgia Theater tonight. Of course, the Quail has video of his performance. Enjoy:

EDIT: Thanks to The Pasty Quail's Favorite Bartender for the tip.
