    The Features and The Whigs co-headline The Cannery on November 5.  Also appearing are The Dead Trees.

    Athens, GA-based band, The Whigs, has been dubbed "the best unsigned band in America" by Rolling Stone. Their third album will likely be released in late-2009 or early-2010. The band played a secret show in Athens, GA on May 28, where they premiered 11 new songs: Hundred/Million, Alone, Wrong Things, Smallest Town, Glory, In the Dark, Alabama Stars, I am for Real, Someone's Daughter, Black Lotus and I Don't Even Care About the One I Love.

    The Features snuck onto our speakers with their critically lauded debut, Exhibit A. The record strengthened their already rabid hometown cult following and won over critics in both the US & UK press while shows with Kings of Leon, the Raconteurs and The Walkmen and sets at Redding & Leeds festivals showed off their brazenly flawless live show. Quite suddenly, The Features disappeared and left us wondering what had happened to the Southern four piece who were bound to become our next favorite band. But now, with trademark pop hooks and stellar songwriting in tow, The Features are returning this spring with an off-kilter masterpiece of a sophomore album, Some Kind of Salvation.

    Please note: This is an 18 and up show.
