Call me Ishmael. Or donÆt. ThatÆs entirely up to you. Many years ago - or
sooner, I am imprecise about these things - a landlocked group of men from the
vicinity of a town in Kansas called Lawrence embarked upon a journey of the
soul. Or a journey full of soul. Again, you decide. Armed with the weapons of
the musicianÆs trade, these five travelers were bestowed with the biblical and
mythical name of White Whale. Prior bands of minstrels attempted the majestic
grandeur inherent in White Whale. The intrepid Butterglory; the fearless Get Up
Kids; Thee (fearsome) Higher Burning Fire; and the brave, chivalrous Matt Suggs
all drove their vessels to sea. All were driven back to the land of corn. Yet
their combined talents have taken them to corners of the globe only dreamed of
by other bands.
And in White WhaleÆs maiden voyage, WWI, all glory and honor is theirs. Amassing
the power of the Big Star with the fury of the Sabbath (Black) and the
mesmerizing wiles of the Badfinger, the gentlemen of White (F-inÆ) Whale are not
afraid to ask the musical question ôWhatÆs an Ocean For?ö Beware ye Decemberists
and those who would set the Arcade (a)Fire, the Okkervil River can not contain
the enormity of White Whale.
Featuring Matt Suggs (Matt Suggs, Butterglory), Rob Pope (The Get Up Kids), and
John Anderson, Zach Holland, Dustin Kinsey (Thee Higher Burning Fire)!
