Release Notes:
Whiting Tennis lives in Seattle and is currently playing shows as a three or
four piece rock group to a following of three or four friends. A new record,
"Three Leaf Clover" which was recorded in Manhattan is to be released on
Tarnished Records in April. The live group typically plays material from that
record as well as new songs that will be recorded this year. History: Whiting
moved back to Seattle in 2004 after living in New York City for 12 years. While
in New York he played in a group called The Scholars, and self released "Hello
Dolly" in 2000. The Scholars were: Whiting on guitar and vocals, John Devore on
Drums, and Hiroshi Kimura on bass, who replaced the original bass player, Pete
Moe. Gerald Menke, a fantasic NYC steel pedal slide player, occasionally sat in
for shows and recording. Before The Scholars formed, Whiting played in The
Klugmen, (later called Savalas), which featured the hilarious and talented
frontman Kevin Landers on vocals and sometimes guitar. When that band petered
out, Whiting basically canibalized that group to form The Scholars. The original
idea and form of The Scholars came about when Whiting met Nathan Johnson, the
drummer for the Seattle Rock band Flop (fronted by Rusty Willoughby), who had
moved to New York after Flop was dropped from Sony. Nathan and Whiting drank
lots of beer and decided to start a band that would only gig in libraries. That
group only played in Whiting's Dumbo painting studio, but was full of promise.
Nathan eventually moved to northern Europe.
