Dec 12, 2012 (KCRW-FM) — The band's canon-worthy Gentlemen will be 20 years old next year, which has Greg Dulli, Rick McCollum and John Curley back on the road. Watch The Afghan Whigs power through "Fountain and Fairfax" during a visit to KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic.When news spread about an Afghan Whigs reunion tour, we knew we had to have the band on KCRW. The group showed no signs of rust from a 10-year hiatus, playing powerful soul ballads propelled by straight-up rock 'n' roll riffs. It was an honor and a real pleasure to host Greg Dulli and company as they performed a set covering a wide range of their catalog, including "Fountain and Fairfax" from the band's widely worshiped 1993 album Gentlemen.
