Afghan Whigs played Brooklyn Bowl (pics, setlist, updated tour dates)
photos by P Squared Photography
With a well-regarded new album — their first in 16 years — under the belt, grungy soul survivors Afghan Whigs are in the midst of an ever-expanding world tour. It hit NYC last night (5/15) for a show at Brooklyn Bowl. We got a good chunk of the fresh Do to the Beast, a handful of ’90s-era faves, the Twilight Singers’ “On the Corner,” plus covers of Fleetwood Mac’s “Tusk” and “Heaven on Their Minds” from Jesus Christ Superstar. Pictures and the setlist are in this post.
That ever-expanding tour will be back in NYC this fall when Afghan Whigs play Beacon Theatre on October 4 — tickets are still available. When we first posted about the Beacon show, it was a lone date, but now there’s a full set of North American dates in September and October.
Updated Afghan Whigs tour dates are listed, along with more pics from Brooklyn Bowl (including ones of opener Carina Round), below…
