NewRider Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) What ever happened to the Afghan Whigs??They broke up in 2001 I believe. back to bands that are active.. Edited January 30, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I saw them on letterman. Reminded me of MMJ but less complex. Nice fuzzy tone for a trio.Too bad they couldn't have chosen a name that doesn't remind me of a band with a broader scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Immediately when I heard the name I thought Afghan Whigs reunited under a different name. I was still happy with what I got. They're opening for the Drive-By Truckers this spring and I hope they open in Toronto. Seems unlikely though as they have their own gig at the 'Shoe coming up.Mission Control is a fantastic album though, check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 they play instruments that look a bit too small for their bodies...little gibsons.big fuzz. I hope they never start trimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 A taper I know in Toronto recorded them (with permission from the band) in Toronto on Feb. 5, and has the recording up on his website:http://www.davecaley.com/blog/Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I really liked that Letterman performance. Thanks for posting it Rider. That song had elements of late 60's Who and garage-punk tossed together with strands of southern rock, delivered with the style of MMJ. To me, that's mixing almost all of my favoute kinds of music into one. I'm going to seek them out, although I may have to hit up a show or two in March, like the Horseshoe and/or the gig with the Truckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Awesome sound on that recording! Thanks for posting that.No problem. I didn't like it much, more for the band's sound than the sonic quality of the recording, I think. I'll probably have ear plugs in during their set in Montreal (not because I don't want to hear them, I do, but because I figure they'll be loud and fuzzed-out to the point of affecting my hearing, and I want to hear as much of DBT as possible).Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
