The Afghan Whigs with Wussy at the Varsity Theater 10/28/12

It was a surreal moment watching the legendary Afghan Whigs take to the soft blue-lit stage last night at their sold out show at the Varsity Theater. That much-loved Ohio-bred hard rock band who shook up the grunge club in the early 90s with noirish tales of sex and violence and had a penchant for funk and R&B, was standing before an adoring audience; a colorful collection of older fans who saw them in their heyday and saucer-eyed newbies (like myself) who followed magnetic frontman Greg Dulli from his newer endeavors like Gutter Twins (see: Mark Lanegan) and the Twilight Singers back to his roots. All of them were waiting to be swept off their feet by an always obliging Dulli - and as the band kicked into the first song, the epic “Crime Scene, Pt. 1” and white confetti spilled from the ceiling, it all felt like some wonderful dream you don’t ever want to awaken from.
