Whirlwind Heat are three men from Grand Rapids, Michigan who happened to catch the eye of Jack White in 1999. But there's no point in repeating all this.
The Heat have released 3 Full Length album; Do Rabbits Wonder? (2003, Produced by Jack White, released on THIRD MAN RECORDS), Types of Wood (2005, Produced by Whirlwind Heat, released on BRILLE RECORDS) and Self Titled or Scoop Du Jour (2008 MP3, 2009 Vinyl, Produced. recorded, mixed, released by Whirlwind Heat) They have also released two EP's; Flamingo Honey (2005, Co-Producers Brendan Benson, Whirlwind Heat, released on DIM MAK RECORDS) and I Fucked Up Types of Wood (2006, Produced, Recorded, Mixed by Whirlwind Heat, released on BRILLE RECORDS). They have released numerous 7" singles and 12 music videos (My Electric Underwear and Reagan Directed by Matthew Gray Gubler, Purple Directed by Terry Richardson, Slugger Directed by Jaffe Zinn and the rest Whirlwind Heat directed themselves)
Not limited to just writing, producing, and financing their own album, David Swanson (vocals, moog), Steve Damstra II (bass), and Brad Holland (drums) shoot their own videos and short films, create their own artwork, design their own clothing and coloring books, and develop their own website. Add to that Whirlwind Heat's recent tour with Beck, past tours with White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Kills, and their consistent visual contributions from photog-supreme Terry Richardson and it's quite evident that everyone who wrote them off before will slowly have to recant and pay attention.
