White Whale

When Matt Suggs (who was simply within the ’90s indie rock and roll duo Butterglory) needed a touring music group for his 2003 solo album, Amigo Row, he looked no more than former Higher Burning up Fire people and fellow Kansans John Anderson, Dustin Than Kinsey, and Zach Holland for help, with whom he previously been playing on / off since 2000. They got along collectively so well which they decided to type their own music group, White Whale, getting ex-Get-Up Children bassist Robert Pope in, with Anderson on drums, Kinsey on acoustic guitar and synths, Holland on acoustic guitar and keyboards, and Suggs’ Ray Davies-esque tone of voice caring for the performing. In 2006, Merge, with whom Suggs have been associated since his Butterglory times, released WWI, an recording that drew evaluations to function from Arcade Open fire as well as the Decemberists, and was accompanied by a countrywide tour.
