The Afghan Whigs

at den Atelier Doors: 7:00 pm

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Always a band on the verge of mainstream success, with 1965 the Whigs have finally recorded the album to put them over the top. They kicked out a batch of tunes that’s as loose and funky as it is tightly woven and richly textured. Incomparable frontman Greg Dulli (pronounced Doo-lee) ‘’cocktail-sipping, alt-rock lounge lizard and Barry White-style, crushed-velvet sex machine’’ has always been obsessed with sex, soul and the darker side of male-female relationships, now they’ve found the soul-rock G-spot! Critical press favorites, The Afghan Whigs cross the rare boundaries between the mainstream and the cutting edge and for sure few bands can match their ability to sound harrowing and hedonistic at the same time.
