whip appeal
On a big wooden stage in front of a wide wooden dance floor, THE WHIP APPEAL is like a fifteen-member band in a long scattered line, shoo-be-doo'ing an off-kilter chorus towards a bottom shelf country night-cap. In the cave they're more like a three-piece jazz band, improvising rock and roll, cutting straight to quarter-inch tape. Described last week at BJ's Bywater Lounge, where they play once, sometimes twice a month, as “The Velvet Underground meets Townes van Zandt.”
