Whitney @ Maha Festival in Omaha

About the artist

"Whitney" is an American indie-rock band from Chicago, which formed in 2015 shortly after the breakup of member Max Kakacek and Julien Ehrlich's band, Smith Westerns in late 2014. After the demise of Smith Westerns in 2014, guitarist Kakacek joined with drummer Julien Ehrlich, who also played drums for Unknown Mortal Orchestra, to form Whitney. As roommates, the duo shared song-writing duties while Ehrlich became the main vocalist. Initially the band featured members of the Touching Voids, Ehrlich's previous band. In June 2015, the band made the song "No Matter Where We Go" available digitally through the Lead Riders label. It included former Smith Westerns member Ziyad Asrar on rhythm guitar, Malcolm Brown on keyboards, bassist Josiah Marshall and brass player Will Miller.
