(Showbox at the Market) The first band from outside the Northwest to be signed to Sub Pop Records, Cincinnati’s Afghan Whigs and their grungy garage rock fit right in alongside their early-’90s labelmates. Fronted by whiskey-soaked sleazemuffin Greg Dulli (who also fronts side-project the Twilight Singers and is one half of the Gutter Twins with Mark Lanegan), the band explored more soulful territories and moved to major-label heights on Elektra in ’93 before amicably splitting in 2001. Since then, Afghan Whigs have reunited a few times, making it stick in 2012, and returning to Sub Pop for their first album in 16 years, Do to the Beast, out April 15—a release that maintains some of their savage soul backbone, but also stretches into varied territory, from itchy electronic-esque drivers to somber ballads.
