The Afghan Wigs Reunited and Performing on The Jimmy Fallon Show
A war or two in Afghanistan after their seminal 1993 album Gentlemen, The Afghan Whigs are reuniting and touring. Last night they appeared on The Jimmy Fallon Show, making their first public appearance in 13 years. Check out the band performing See and Don’t See (a cover of the Mary “Queenie” Lyons song) along with raging web exclusive, I’m Her Slave (off of their 1992 album, Congregation). ?uestlove and a satchel of string players assisted on the former. Check ’em out and catch ’em live. When last we saw them (in 1993), they blew the roof off at Slim’s in San Francisco, and there’s no reason to doubt they will slay again on this tour. All things considered, the band and (in particular) Greg Dulli lookin’ and soundin’ great.
