About
The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio. They were active from 1986 to 2001, reformed briefly in 2006 and again from 2011 to present.
The early core members were Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar), and John Curley (bass). The band rose up around the grunge movement, evolving from a garage band in the vein of the Replacements to incorporate more R&B and soul influences into their sound and image. They released their first album independently in 1988. The band then signed to the Seattle-based independent label Sub Pop. Their fourth album, Gentlemen in 1993, was their major label debut, released on Elektra Records. Pitchfork described them as "one of the few alt-bands to flourish on a major label" in the 1990s.
Dulli frequently claimed in interviews that the band would never get back together following their dissolution in 2001; however the group reunited in 2012.

The Afghan Whigs est un groupe américain de rock alternatif, originaire de Cincinnati, dans l'Ohio. Le groupe obtient un petit succès d'estime dans les années 1990, notamment grâce à la médiatisation du label Sub Pop. Malgré tout, la formation reste assez méconnue et son succès ne dépasse guère les frontières américaines.
Formé à l'origine par Greg Dulli (chant, guitare rythmique), Rick McCollum (guitare solo), John Curley (basse) et Steve Earle (batterie), ils sortent leur premier album Big Top Halloween sur leur propre label Ultrasuede en 1988. Le groupe signe ensuite chez Sub Pop en 1989. De cette collaboration résulteront les albums Up In It en 1990 et Congregation en 1992, celui-ci marquant le virage soul caractéristique du son du groupe. Suivront ensuite Gentlemen en 1993 et Black Love en 1996, tous les deux sur Elektra Records. En 1999, ils contribuent à l'album Burning London, The Clash Tribute, album-hommage de reprises de The Clash, en reprenant le titre Lost In The Supermarket.
The Afghan Whigs publient leur dernier album, 1965, chez Columbia Records en 1998. Ils se séparent ensuite en 2001. À partir de 2003, Greg Dulli forme un duo avec Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age) : The Gutter Twins. Ils sortent un album et effectuent quelques tournées.
