Since their humble beginnings in February of 2001, while still in
their freshman year of high school, Whitey has always harnessed the honesty and
vigor of their beginnings. While
the band has evolved stylistically, they have maintained their philosophical
vitality; the freedom of expression and unifying principles of music.
At
first glance, the diversity within Whitey’s repertoire can seem
unjustified. However, it is the
most honest, revealing conveyance of song they can possibly offer. Their purpose as a band has been to
channel whatever expression comes at the specific moment in time, while making
sure songs are crafted methodically to make people come together, dance, and
enjoy themselves with others.
Whitey
draws the most diverse crowds possible and has since their inception. This is simply due to the fact that
musically, Whitey reaches out to everyone, and conceptually, their shows are
nothing but a hot, sweaty, intense celebration of dance, music, art, and life.
In eight years, Whitey has played in
everything from bakeries, to haylofts, to middle school gyms, to nightclubs and
festivals across the country. They have performed with such bands as Holly
McNarland, The Tea Party, DOA, Big Wig, Closet Monster, Stabilo Boss, The Tom
Fun Orchestra, Los Furios, The Brat Attack, WPP, The Accident, Cellar Door,
Daggermouth, and A Textbook Tragedy, in addition to completing many successful
tours spanning both coasts.
We love you Canada!
