The Afghan Whigs


 

The Afghan Whigs were an American soul-influenced alternative rock band of the 1990s. Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), John Curley (bass), Rick McCollum (lead guitar) and Steve Earle (drums -- not to be confused with Steve Earle) formed the band in Cincinnati in 1986. Their 1988 debut album Big Top Halloween on their independent record label called (Ultrasuede) created a buzz in the independent music community, and the band soon signed to Sub Pop of Seattle in 1989. In 1990, Up in It was released; this was followed by the critically acclaimed 1992 album Congregation and a covers album, Uptown Avondale.
