The Whispertown 2000 – Done With Love
If you’re as big of a Rilo Kiley nerd as I am, you may have wondered in the past who the mysterious ‘Morgan’ is that’s mentioned on Papillon and The Absence of God. The answer is none other than Morgan Nagler, lead singer of The Whispertown 2000. I’ve been aware of the band for a few years now, but never paid them a great deal of attention. They do however present an interesting case of just how far can a band go purely on a tenuous connection to an already successful band?
All of which is probably a little unfair. The Whispertown 2000 aren’t a bad band by any means. Their songs are decent enough, and I don’t think anyone would find them all that objectionable. The problem is that they aren’t that great either. Maybe they have that breakthrough indie hit in them (you know, the one that’ll turn up on Gossip Girl or 90210), but at the moment it’s all rather uneventful.
I have no idea when the ‘The’ was added to the name, but it really doesn’t work.
