The Wholigans captures not only the sound and essence of The Who but could easily pass for the original members of THE WHO. While the band concentrates on the 'Tommy'/'Woodstock'/'Live at Leeds' era; their repertoire also contains a variety of hits and rarities of the Who's rich catalogue from such albums as 'Who's Next', 'Quadrophenia', as well as the band's swan song with Keith Moon; 'Who Are You.'
From the stage clothes to the authentic stagegear + capturing the mannerisms of The Who ,The Wholigans bring back memories of a Who of yesteryear which has to be seen to be believed. With the thrashing windmills of Pete Townshend to the mic swinging of Roger Daltrey and the incredible drumming style of Keith Moon combined with the thunderfingers of John Entwistle. The Wholigans seem to have captured the total package that is The Who.
Thanks to all the maniac fans in the UK, we had a blast ! Hope to see you next spring (March/April) + we'll be in Germany and Sweden around then as well.
