The Afghan Whigs are set to kick off their fall North American tour this Friday, Sept. 9 in Minneapolis in support of their new album, How Do You Burn?, set to release this Friday. The band will end the North American leg of the tour at The Belasco Theater on Wednesday, Oct. 12.

The Ohio rock band is celebrating their ninth album, How Do You Burn?, their first release in five years. The 10-track record includes collaborations with the late Mark Lanegan, accredited to have named the album, Susan Marshall, Van Hunt and Marcy Mays. On the night of the record’s release the group will embark on their North American tour set to end in LA on Wednesday, Oct. 12 before heading to Europe and the U.K. for the second leg of the tour.

The Afghan Whigs rose to popularity during the grunge movement era, recognized for mixing R&B and soul influences into their alt-band sound. The band ultimately broke up in 2001, reuniting 11 years later. The band returned with major festival performances at Primavera Sound and Lollapalooza and released new material in 2014 with Do to the Beast. Three years later, the band released their eight-studio album, In Spades. The band’s current lineup consists of vocalist Greg Dulli, bassist John Curley, string multi-instrumentalist Rick Nelson, drummer Patrick Keeler and guitarist Christopher Thorn.

The alt-rock bands ninths studio album has been praised by major publications such as Pitchfork, Forbes and many others. Dulli’s songwriting often incorporated a wide range of dark humor, exploring gray areas and often stepping out of the comfort zone.
