Born
beneath the
Mississippi
mud, WILX emerged as rock band in June of 2005. Since their
inception, WILX has focused their energy on pure rock n roll
performances, combining powerful drumming, resonating bass, and
two virtuoso guitars that trade riffs. WILX is first and foremost
a rock band with alternative and grunge roots. These roots are
soaked in southern styling, both classic and modern. Now
residing in the musical vortex of
Athens
,
GA
, WILX’s live shows encompass a spirit of eclectic energy that
stems from such a dynamic environment.
In
2006, WILX toured relentlessly, constantly writing new material
while perfecting the original. Their current EP was recorded
at Tweed Recording Studio in
Oxford
,
Mississippi
. WILX plans to return to the studio this summer to record
with renowned producer John Keane (R.E.M., Widespread Panic, Nancy
Griffith) at John Keane Studios, in
Athens
,
Georgia
.
WILX
has performed with Perpetual Groove, Tishamingo, The Whigs, and
Devon Allman, as well as a variety of other well-known national
acts. WILX has played various local festivals, including the
Poplar Street Music Festival, in
Athens
,
GA
, and the Elvis Festival in
Tupelo
,
Mississippi
. Look for WILX to be making various festival appearances
2008, as well as touring new national markets.
