Yep I can’t wait. I knew this was going to happen for a while now. It will be nice to hear some new Whigs, they were one of the best bands to emerge from the Sub Pop label. I’ve been following Gregs band the Twilight Singers, Ricks new band Moon Maan, and Johns new band Staggering Statistics. Its all pretty good but, doesn’t come close to the Afghan Whigs in my opinion.

I did`nt know you liked them Rosa.Great band,how many bands could cover a song from Jesus Christ Superstar and Straight Outta Compton?I hear alot of Dino influence in some of their tunes.Listen to how Dulli sings ‘walk a mile’ in Conjure Me.It`s pure Mascis-ish

this is fantastic. just re-bought all their albums on cd, have seen twilight singers a couple of times in London. Can’t wait for them to tour. Got my Lemonheads tickets for the Forum today too. Now just need Pavement, Archers of Loaf and Dexy’s Midnight Runners to get back together.

Don’t expect the Whigs to tour again. They’re only getting back together for a couple of weeks to record new songs for the Rhino anthology. It would be great if they did though. One can only hope.
