White Whale (Matt Suggs) on Merge | MP3s, Tour Dates

Tripwire must have my computer bugged (wired?). I spent a significant amount of time last night researching Matt Suggs’ new Merge-signed band White Whale in preparation for a post today. I even started writing it until I noticed one of Tripwire’s latest headlines pop-up: “Band to Watch: White Whale“.

White Whale Luckily Tripwire didn’t post the same track. Music for Robots did, but that was over three months ago (natch). Said the Gramophone posted a third track in March, but that’s gone now too. There’s four tracks streaming at MySpace. Too bad I missed them at SXSW.

White Whale is:
Matt Suggs (Matt Suggs, Butterglory)
Rob Pope (The Get Up Kids)
John Anderson (Thee Higher Burning Fire)
Zach Holland (Thee Higher Burning Fire)
Dustin Kinsey (Thee Higher Burning Fire)
