The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio and they are coming to perform in Austin, Texas. The band was active from 1986 to 2001 and has since reformed as a band. The group’s core members are Greg Dulli, Rick McCollum, and John Curley.  The band rose up at the same time when the grunge movement was a big thing.  The band started as a garage band in the vein of the Replacements to incorporate more R&B and soul influences into their sound and image. After releasing their first album independently in 1988, the band signed to the Seattle-based label Sub Pop. 

The band separated on 2001 and on May 22, 2012, they reunited as a band and Afghan Whigs played as a band again. They made their debut performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, playing one new song, the soul cover “See and Don’t See.”  After they started playing together again, the band played their first full concert the next night at Manhattan venue The Bowery Ballroom.

“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,” Glenn Gamboa wrote in Newsday Meanwhile, Steve Kandell noted in a SPIN review that “their first show together since then, at New York’s Bowery Ballroom last night, felt less like an easy nostalgia trip than a reminder of problems we, perhaps selectively, forgot we ever had. …Leader Greg Dulli was leaner, meaner, fitter, and in better voice at 47 than even during the band’s heyday…
