From Whiners to WC Wranglers to Whiners Again  

I've mentioned in a few places about gigging with some guys from the "day-job". We've played a high profile Holiday Party for the last few years and I wanted to post something from that.

Unfortuantely (and typlically), we've never gotten a great sound recording form the live sets. But the track on this post is one form our rehearsals and it came out not too badly - considering it's live from the floor!

We used this song as our centre piece to close out a set where the head honcho played a few songs with…Read more

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year predictions of doom and gloom  

We say it outloud for those who celebrate Christmas: "Merry Christmas" (and especially to Reham, who argues we shouldn't get hung up about being too PC). For those who don't celebrate Santa or Christ or gift giving, or whatever ... happy all the rest!

Shouldn't be too long for that so look for an early 2012 release. 

We found one single male bedbug in The Whiners studio shortly after the previous blog and, well, if you've…Read more

A live Happy Accident is way better than a dead one 

So, we have an album out. That's just cool to be able to say that.  The Whiners as a band goes back to 1998 when I (Keith) linked up with an old high school chum to tutor me on guitar.  Playing guitar was something I always wanted to do but never got to. Who better to teach you than someone you hung with? That was good but we have to fast forward 10 years or so later for me to get good enough and persistent enough to get the preverbal shit together and find a partner with a similar mind set to get something…Read more
