The Whip Kick Off North American Tour
03/27/2009
.
(PR) UK electro-rock act The Whip kick off their North American tour this week in support of their debut album, X MARKS DESTINATION. The band played multiple shows at SXSW and will perform at Winter Music Conference followed by a tour with Late of the Pier and DeadMau5. The Whip will also make their U.S. television debut on April 22nd on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!
It's been quite a year for the Manchester band, touring non-stop at some of last summer's biggest festivals like Glastonbury, and Reading as well as U.S. stops at SXSW and CMJ. Now The Whip bring their blend of dance-rock stateside with propulsive songs like "Trash" which Spin called "a killer single�can wreck a room" and the more ethereal "Dubsex," which was recently featured on MTV's, The City.
On their debut album, X MARKS DESTINATION, now available in the U.S. on Razor & Tie, The Whip aim to be the sound of your night out. Live, their music becomes the soundtrack to a hedonistic dance party, expertly capturing the exhilarating feeling of being at a festival and dancing till dawn. Don't miss out on the experience and be sure to catch The Whip in your city!
