In honour of tonight's gig by The Whip, let's have another look at the main points of this article from March:1) The Whip are a band from Manchester.
2) They play big, dark, sexy dance music.
3) Two of them used to be in Nylon Pylon.
4) They are really very good indeed.
You’ve probably heard Muzzle No. 1 by now, one of the aforementioned dark, sexy dance records. It sounds a bit like being taught how to dance at a warehouse rave by some slightly-evil robots. With lasers. Similar in tone is ‘Trash’, a highlight of the last Kitsuné Maison compilation.
Another track of theirs is ‘Frustration’, a song that couldn’t be any more Manchester if it ran through Collyhurst in a City shirt shouting “Sorted!” at the top of it’s voice. It is this song that has seen the band compared favourably to early New Order, which is certainly no bad thing.
All of which sounds pretty fucking amazing, does it not? We'll be there, shouting from the sidelines (although not in a City shirt) and will be bringing you all the details next week.
In the meantime, go to The Whip's MySpace to listen to some of their stuff, including new tune 'Divebomb'.
