Washington Post likes local band

¢ Lawrence rockers White Whale got a positive live review in the Washington Post today._Live, the band attempted to reproduce the album’s eclectic sweep and nautical spirit, using a megaphone to transform (Matt) Suggs’s vocals into a distant roar and reverb to make his shout resemble a gull-like squawk. These gambits worked, but the sounds they generated weren’t essential. More important was translating the songs to the stage from their recorded versions._¢ James Moser, a former KU dean who now is chancelor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is profiled in a story in China’s People’s Daily Online.
