Still the best thing out of Cincinnati since the ‘70s Reds. Newsday : It was the stuff of legend. Regardless of how the surprising reunion of the Afghan Whigs turns out, their show last night at the Bowery Ballroom will go down as the ‘90s alt-rock heroes’ greatest concert ever. It’s not that the Whigs’ singer-guitarist Greg Dulli, bassist John Curley and guitarist Rick McCollum were perfect in their first concert together in 13 years, they were – not to get all Oprah about it – their best selves. The impressive two-hour show delivered on the promising concept the band began 25 ...

Greg Dulli and pals' triumphant return brought all the hits, shoulda-been hits, caustic wit, and ... Ocean">Frank Ocean.

Die jüngst wiedervereinigten Alternative Rock-Urgesteine The Afghan Whigs geben einen Song als Gratis-Download frei. "See And Don't See" ist dabei ein Cover des gleichnamigen Songs der Soulsängerin Marie "Queenie" Lyons. Auch die Neuinterpretation der Herren um Greg Dulli besticht mit viel Seele. Musikalisch allerdings bleibt sich das Trio treu, sodass der Song mit Akustikgitarre und Synthie-Fläche einen völlig eigenen, melancholischen Charme entwickelt. Hier könnt ihr, im Tausch gegen eure Email-Adresse, das erste Lebenszeichen der Drei aus Cincinnatti seit fünf Jahren herunterladen: The Afghan Whigs - "See And Don't See" Seit Mitte der 80er sind The Afghan Whigs bereits aktiv ...

In a conversation with SPIN's Steve Kandell earlier this year, Afghan Whigs frontman Greg Dulli said he preferred not to disclose which four covers he and his recently reunited outfit had recorded alongside new material just a month earlier...

Swaggering, soulful rock group The Afghan Whigs have released their first music since reuniting late last year: a cover of 1970's "See And Don't See" from mercurial funk star Marie "Queenie" Lyons, whose under-appreciated, one-and-done recording career has made her a cult favorite over the years. It's not hard to see Greg Dulli and Co. identifying with Lyons and her never quite achieving the acclaim she deserved during her time, but it's probably more that Dulli just really wanted to sing the lyric, "If I ever face reality… I know that it will be the end ...

At noon today The Afghan Whigs released their first new track in over five years.  You can download the song, "See and Don't See" at their website . It's a cover of a song originally done by Marie "Queenie" Lyons.  And damn it's good to hear Greg Dulli back where he really belongs.

You know it’s got soul. Rolling Stone : The recently reunited Afghan Whigs have returned with their first new recording in over five years: a cover of “See and Don’t See,” originally recorded in 1970 by Marie “Queenie” Lyons. The track gets a haunting rework by the Ohio alt-rockers, who strip down the bouncy funk of the original into a sparse, chilling acoustic guitar track capped by frontman Greg Dulli’s powerful vocals.

Extra Life Dream Seeds [Northern Spy; 2012] by Jeff Roesgen Rating: Each of Extra Life’s three albums have come across as closely-guarded confessions. Not the kind a killer or an adulterer makes in exchange for a clear conscience, but those of the shamed victim, the one cursed to wonder whether they’d done something to provoke the mistreatment they’ve received. Secular Works , the band’s debut, explored such notions as they present to the outside world. It discussed with clear omniscience pathological and social maladies like bleeding and blackmail, allowing the listener to observe the pain and shame ...

Ask Greg Dulli about the set lists he and his bandmates in the Afghan Whigs—the Cincinnati soul-punk outfit that released a string of sucker-punch ruminations on bad love during the alt-rock gold rush—are putting together for their reunion shows, the first of which takes place at Bowe...

MP3: Afghan Whigs - My Curse (Peel Session) As us Whig fans celebrate the mighty return of the giants that walk the earth, here is a track from a 1994 Peel Session. "My Curse" in it's context on Gentlemen is sung by Marcy Mays of Scrawl , which is quite great, but there's a reason we don't post mp3s by that band: that shit ain't Greg Dulli. He finally sings on his song, bringing something already great to new levels, bumming you out in a completely different way. It's awesome. I do love Mays singing on this ...

It's been awhile since we've seen or heard from Greg Dulli and his Afghan Whigs. At least in the live sense. On tour in support of their album 1965, The Afghan Whigs rolled into New York City on Sept. 29, 1999 for a private show at the club Hush. No one knew it at the time, but it turned out to be
