[capthowdy1027]

Hey fellow Whigs fans, check out this thread I just made:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=187209&p=4355829&hilit=afghan+whigs#p4355829

I didn't want to post the whole thing in two threads, so I'll just link it.

i have tix for ATP. I didnt get one today. I can't really afford to fly cross country twice in less than a month. Hoping for a string of West Coast dates so I can hit several of those.

plus.... waiting for a New Orleans date....because that's the one I really want to see...

Just got tickets for the Sydney show in July! 19 or so years after I first heard them I finally get to see them live for the first time - this has definitely made my year.

Of all the bands that I have loved over the years The Afghan Whigs are the only ones I've never seen live. I've seen Greg with The Twilight Singers, The Gutter Twins and with Mark Lanegan but I never thought I'd get the chance to see the Whigs. It's the first time they've ever played in Australia and I can't f#cking wait!

Your attention, please
Now turn off the light
Your infection, please
I haven't got all night

Understand, do you understand?
Understand, i'm a gentleman

From the AW website:

The Afghan Whigs Announce Location Of First Show In 13 Years

The Afghan Whigs will perform on May 23rd in New York City at Bowery Ballroom with special guest Joseph Arthur.

The fan pre-sale is SOLD OUT. A VERY limited number of tickets will be available on Friday at noon EST.

The band will also perform on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, May 22nd. This will be the band's first televised performance in over a decade.

First show in 13 years... and Joseph Arthur as support - sounds like a win-win situation to me!

Videos of "See And Don't See" and "I'm Her Slave" from Late Night are on Spin.com:

Amazing setlist, Crime Scene Part One is my favourite Whigs song ever, I'd kill to see them play it live.

[randallanddarcy]

They played an unknown song after 'Milez...' that wasn't on the setlist, too!
